Our school system requires an extensive overhaul if all students are to succeed. In its May 2013 report, the Cour des comptes showed that changing how we manage teachers, who are key to a functioning education system, is a major known catalyst for improved performance. However, the central government has not used the substantial and growing fiscal effort directed in recent years at the national education system to make structural reforms. The personnel measures taken in 2012 and the remuneration measures taken in 2016 were not coupled with concessions on the conditions under which teachers practice their profession, on work organisation or on working hours.
