A new massive strike could take place in schools, colleges and high schools in France on Tuesday March 7, 2023. Which establishments will be open?
“Hopefully it will be a Black Tuesday and the schools will be closed.” In National Education, the message is clear in anticipation of the strike of March 7, 2023. Ghislaine David, co-secretary general and spokesperson for the SNUipp-FSU, warned this Tuesday, February 27 on BFM-TV that the functioning of schools will be greatly disrupted that day due to a national call for mobilization against the pension reform. “Teachers [y] are massively opposed and they will show it again”, launched the trade unionist. Therefore, what to expect in nursery schools, primary schools, college and high schools? Will public and private establishments, each, be as much impacted?
Will all establishments be closed on Tuesday March 7, 2023?
With nearly 60,000 establishments in France, it is impossible to draw up a list, municipality by municipality, of the schools, colleges and high schools that will remain closed on Tuesday March 7, 2023. It depends on the mobilization of the teaching staff and their will or not. to go on strike. The fact remains that all the unions in the sector wish to “completely close” all establishments in the country on this date. Given the long preparation of this strike movement, the call could be heard, especially since the text on the pension reform continues its legislative course without the postponement of the retirement age to 64 years being exchange.
Details could not be known until the end of the week. Indeed, teachers who wish to strike must declare themselves 48 hours before the date. Thus, the strike being scheduled for a Tuesday, it is from this Saturday, March 4 that the management of the establishments will know, in detail, the staff absent and present for the day of Tuesday. Parents and students will be notified on Sunday or Monday.
On January 19, between 38.5% (ministry) and 67% (unions) of teachers had gone on strike, against between 25.92% and 50% on the 31st. The rate had continued to drop on February 7 and 16. , with 14.17% on the 7th then 7.67% on the 16th, according to the Ministry of Education. Will the end of the holidays correspond to a resurgence of mobilization?
