Venti scuole fiamminghe a Bruxelles sono in sciopero contro la carenza di insegnanti: “Come direttore sono spesso davanti all’aula”

>About twenty Dutch-speaking municipal schools from Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, Anderlecht and Brussels are on strike today because they find too few teachers. The schools fall under the Flemish community, which is why they gather at Martelarenplein in Brussels where the Flemish government is based. They ask Minister of Education, Ben Weyts (N-VA), for more measures.

>”I don’t know whether a Brussels premium would help much, I don’t think extra euros will attract more people to Brussels schools. The “lateral entrants” are interesting, but they need extra guidance and we don’t have the people for that .”

>*”****A revaluation of the teaching profession is the only solution.*** We also have a lot of diversity here in Brussels, which does not make it easy,” says Gijs.

>Their campaign also receives support from several parents. They have united in a new group ‘SOS! Save our schools’.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: make the job more attractive and you’ll find more people. Right now it’s a shit job with no respect, no job security until you get the right contract and, depending on which courses you give, a shit ton of overtime.
