“From her first day, a gap widens between the minister and public education teachers”assures Friday January 12 on franceinfo Sophie Vénétitay, the general secretary of the Snes-FSU union, after the justification of the new Minister of National Education on the schooling of her children in the private Catholic school Stanislas in Paris.
Amélie Oudéa-Castéra says she transferred her children from public to private school because of her “frustration” in front “packages of hours” teaching “which were not seriously replaced” during teacher absences, she said Friday, when asked about it. The couple has “I was fed up, like hundreds of thousands of families who, at one point, made the choice to seek a different solution”she defended herself, specifying that it was a “proximity choice” since they lived on rue Stanislas.
“These words set fire”
“These are provocative and scandalous remarks which certainly show the limits of a minister, who from her first outing, achieved the feat of scoring an own goal”estimated Sophie Vénétitay. “She has quite simply brought public schools into disrepute even though she is their minister.”
“We will have the opportunity to confront her with the reality of her comments.”

“From day one, pointing out what is not done well in public schools, even though the responsibility for the dysfunctions lies with Emmanuel Macron’s policies, is a hell of an achievement,” she added, explaining that “these words set fire”. “She suggests that public school teachers are incapable of providing replacements, but if they cannot do so, it is because there are thousands of positions that have been eliminated in recent years .”
The general secretary of Snes-FSU says she will “meet” the minister Monday morning at 9 a.m.
