Traveling to Hérault with the Minister of Education, Pap Ndiaye, Emmanuel Macron announced a salary increase “between 100 and 230 euros net more per month” for all from the start of the school year in September. This unconditional increase will be accompanied by an increase linked to new missions based on volunteering. The total, he said, could go “up to 500 euros per month“.
“There will be an increase in base pay, that is to say unconditionally, to already put everyone above 2,000 euros. Beyond that, it is at all career levels that there will be an increase in remuneration, including for those who are in the middle or three quarters of their career. This means that the increase will be for the base, without any conditions, between 100 and 230 euros per month, without working an extra hour, without having an additional task or other, and that at all career levels.“, he continued, without specifying further the details of this increase, who it concerns, at what level of career or seniority…
“We don’t know who will get 100 euros, and who will get 230, it’s total blurry, commented Sophie Vénétitay, general secretary of Snes-FSU. What is certain is that his campaign promise to increase teachers by 10% on January 1, 2023 is really not held. For this, a budget of 3.6 billion euros would be needed, but the current budget is 1.9 billion euros.
The “pact” part of the remuneration, conditional on new assignments on a voluntary basis, will be added to “this increase in the base”. For Emmanuel Macron, she “will make it possible to pay even more per month, which will allow teachers to receive up to 500 euros per month in addition”. For Sophie Vénétitay of Snes-FSU, “by saying this he confirms the logic of working more to earn more from the pact, which is a provocation, and a total mystification”.
