It was a promise from candidate Macron who does not convince the unions… In its 2023 finance bill, the government provides an envelope of 935 million euros to increase teacher salaries, with an average increase of 10% to which s would add remuneration for additional tasks,

National Education, the first state budget, will experience for 2023 "an unprecedented increase" in its credits of 3.7 billion euros, to 60.2 billion euros, an increase of 6.5% compared to to 2022.

No teacher below 2,000 euros net

The budgetary effort for National Education personnel is essentially focused on two aspects, with on the one hand, 1.7 billion devoted to financing the increase in the index point decided in July and 935 million in favor of revaluations of the teaching profession.

This revaluation will be broken down into "an average increase in teachers' remuneration of 10% accompanied by an additional increase for voluntary teachers engaging in new missions", details the draft budget presented Monday in the Council of Ministers.

The government has pledged that no teacher will earn less than 2,000 euros net per month from the start of the 2023 school year.

A cost of 2 billion euros in a full year

In a full year, the long-term cost of these revaluations “will exceed 2 billion euros”, specifies Bercy.

Alongside the "unconditional" revaluation, a variable part will be conditional on the performance of additional tasks to the traditional missions of teachers (replacement, individualized follow-up, orientation, etc.) in line with Emmanuel Macron's program for his second term at the 'Elysium.

Consultations around remuneration must begin on October 3 with the unions.

In a letter to teachers, the Head of State had opened the door to a total revaluation close to the "20%" for teachers wishing to perform these other tasks.

Fuzzy points that make the unions wince

But the president had not specified whether the increases from the previous five-year term – from the Grenelle education forum, which had resulted in a new envelope of 700 million euros in 2021 – would or would not be included in this increase.

A vagueness also persists on the perimeter of the personnel concerned by the revaluation.

If the beginnings and the middle of careers are concerned, what about the ends of careers?

These gray areas have made teachers' unions wince.

"This bill is not at all reassuring, because it is clear that this 10% increase will not be for all teachers", alarms Guislaine David, general secretary of Snuipp-FSU, the first union. of primary.

"We are in a denial of Emmanuel Macron's presidential campaign commitments: he had promised a 10% increase for all teachers in January 2023 and there, we see that this becomes an increase with a base of 10% on average... There is therefore deception, ”adds Sophie Vénétitay, general secretary of Snes-FSU, the first secondary school union.

"It is necessary to quickly get to the heart of the matter"

“Either this term “on average” means that we establish an average with the increases of the previous five-year period (…), or we make an average over all the cohorts, from the beginning to the end of career, by penalizing the end of career,” she adds.

For Stéphane Crochet from SE Unsa, "it is necessary to quickly get to the heart of the matter, to discuss this envelope more precisely".

"The government must not close the door to a multi-year increase," he said.

“Despite this envelope, we are not going to solve the problem of the attractiveness of the teaching profession.

We must therefore be part of a longer trajectory”.

On this thorny issue, "the minister (Pap Ndiaye) will launch consultations next week," announced Elisabeth Borne.

Monday.

But the head of government also linked the questions of attractiveness to "room for maneuver (data) for educational teams" on the ground, an issue at the heart of the delicate "School" project wanted by Emmanuel Macron.

On this thorny issue, "the minister (Pap Ndiaye) will launch consultations next week," announced Elisabeth Borne.
