They don’t “do not give up”. Less than a week after the massive demonstrations of February 1st, the unions Snes-FSU (the main unions in high schools and universities), CGT Éduc’action and SUD are again calling for a national mobilization this Tuesday, February 6, under the word order: “Not the shock of knowledge, but the shock of the salary. »
At the heart of their demands is the rejection of the measures announced for the next school year by Gabriel Attal before leaving for Matignon, with the aim of creating, in his words, a “shock of knowledge” to raise the level of students. In particular, they provide for the creation of level groups in French and mathematics in secondary school for the 6th and 5th year classes. An initiative strongly contested by teachers and experts.
