In the simplest device, in front of the students.

Twenty teachers from the Saint-Exupéry college in Beaucourt, in the Territoire de Belfort, demonstrated naked on Friday.

They wanted to protest against the drop in endowments of their establishment.

"Fewer classes, naked college", "we're going to end up naked" proclaimed the banners brandished on Friday by the teachers on a sports field adjoining the college, while their students, gathered behind a fence, watched the scene, amused or surprised.

The images, broadcast by regional media, were widely commented on on social networks.

“This event is to signify what awaits us next year: we will find ourselves really naked, in complicated conditions”, explained Jean-François Lab, professor of EPS and spokesperson for the movement.

According to the rectorate's forecasts, the college must lose 16 students at the start of the next school year, but the figure is disputed by the teachers, who plan to lose only two students.

The allocation granted to the establishment should lead to the closure of three classes.

"We are not grumpy, but when I see that we lose so many classes for a differential of two students, and even if it were 16, there is a problem", squeals Jean-François Lab.

Teachers fear teaching in front of large classes.

“In the context of the Covid-19 epidemic, with the additional difficulties that this generates for the students, finding themselves in front of classes of 30, it is not possible”, still believes the professor.

A "very fair" allocation

“I made adjustments.

The college of Beaucour is classified among the colleges welcoming the most favored social categories, the endowment was calculated according to the index of social difficulty", reacted Mariane Tanzy, the academic inspector of the department, evoking an endowment "very fair ".

“There will be classes with 28 students, in an establishment where this is the target, that does not satisfy them, I hear it perfectly”, she added, announcing the release of additional means to allow “to split the groups in certain disciplines”.
