By June, all primary school students will receive a gift from National Education. But he is already creating controversy…
Cited among the most beautiful professions in the world, teaching is not easy. This teacher offered a great life lesson to her students thanks to inflatable balloons. But another sparked outrage with violent behavior in class. Our First Lady will soon regain her place as professor. And it is precisely a government initiative that makes people cringe this week.
On the occasion of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, all primary school students should receive a gift in the coming months. If the intention is good, the controversy is growing regarding the means necessary for such an operation. The children concerned, from CP to CM2, would be more than four million. But what is in the package that everyone should receive?

School: a gift to students makes people cringe
The gift in question is a box with a small booklet, accompanied by a two-euro commemorative coin minted by the Paris Mint. Actu.fr contacted a school which confirms receipt of the packages in progress, and the Ministry of Education specifies that the shipment will be made until June.
For the president of the National Schools Union (SNE), this is not a good idea: “Teachers’ job is not to hand out gifts”. Official communication has not yet been launched and distribution to children has not started. Until then, packages must be stored in “a secure room”. But the spokesperson for the majority union SNUipp-FSU Guislaine David underlines: “Some schools don’t even have a teacher’s room, nor a gate that closes properly. What safe room are they talking about?”.

For Philippe Ratinet, There is “maybe other things to do first”. He points the finger at the salaries of primary school teachers, paid 400 euros less than those in secondary schools despite the same competition and the same university level. Their working conditions have also deteriorated: lack of money causes in some cases the cancellation of swimming pool outings, the absence of buses for travel, etc.
Savings were also announced by Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, this week. A timing that does not pass, denounces on France Info Estelle Guyon, professor and representative of the SNUipp-FSU union: “At a time when we are told that there is no more money to operate public services and in particular the public education service“, These packages are for her”a real problem“. She estimates that the currency itself, the printing of the booklets and the delivery had a huge cost, while they will soon be asked to make savings.
