At the same time, Labor ministers of G20 countries are holding a two days meeting in Paris to discuss social protection mechanisms and the right to employment. Further 16,000 job posts are planned to be cut by the 2011-2012 academic year as one of two pensioners were not replaced. A total of 50,000 posts have been cut since 2007 and a further 14,000 are planned to go in 2012. Union labors wonder how the French government will guarantee the education quality with fewer teachers and more students. SNES-FSU National Trade Union for Secondary Education explained that High schools and pre-university schools are taking in 79,536 new students this year, as 4,800 teachers will be fired. hr/jsr/mbz |
