The ministry has 14.17% of striking teachers with 8 academies on vacation
The third day of national mobilization against the pension reform is reflected this Tuesday by a rate of striking teachers of 14.17%, including 14.60% in primary and 13.75% in secondary (middle and high schools), with 8 academies already on vacation, according to the ministry.
These figures do not take into consideration zone A, which is already in school holidays. This zone, the first on vacation in the school calendar, includes the academies of Besançon, Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Dijon, Grenoble, Limoges, Lyon and Poitiers.
For this third day of mobilization, the teachers’ unions have not given any figures for the mobilization of teachers at this stage, considering it difficult to “compare things that are not comparable“, explains the Snes-FSU, the first secondary school union.
Only the Snuipp-FSU Paris (first primary school union) claimed on Twitter that “almost one in two teachers will be on strike and at least 60 schools will be completely closed on Tuesday” in the capital. “Despite a difficult salary context, such a level of mobilization over time is historic!“, he hammered.
On January 31, during the second day of mobilization, the rate of striking teachers was 25.92%, including 26.65% in primary education and 25.22% in colleges and high schools, according to the ministry, although below the figures of the unions, which had counted many more strikers, at least 50% among the teachers, from kindergarten to high school.
The highest strike rate for teachers was recorded on January 19, during the first day of action, with 42.35% in primary education and 34.66% in secondary education, according to the ministry. At that date, the unions had identified up to 70% of striking teachers in primary schools and 65% in colleges and high schools.
