Anger of high school students: Édouard Geffray announces an “emergency plan” for replacements within “a few hours or a few days”

The Minister of Education Édouard Geffray indicated Thursday that he would present an “emergency plan” within “a few hours or a few days” on the question of not replacing absent teachers, one of the concerns expressed by the mobilized high school students. On the replacement of teachers, “we have an emergency plan, of which I will have the opportunity to detail precise data within probably a few hours or a few days,” he told the press in Reims, after meeting students from the Raymond Kopa vocational high school.

Regarding his meeting with the three main high school organizations in the afternoon, he indicated that he intended in particular to “explain to them what we have done on the question of replacements”. He stressed that the monitoring tools have been improved, to allow “to have a slightly more targeted action plan on the establishments most concerned”. During this meeting, “issues of high school democracy” and the Parcoursup post-baccalaureate guidance platform will also be discussed, of which final year students will be “the immediate beneficiaries from this year of the measures that we are going to take”, he assured.
