the Department of education announced Tuesday, May 31 billion euros of wage increases for all teachers and education personnel. These measures, expected decline Protocol ‘careers, careers and remuneration “(PPCR) voted in the end public service in 2015, will be discussed with the trade unions from the 1 ^st June They should take effect gradually by 2020 – unless the elected executive in 2017 decides to reconsider this decision. What is this “push” wage?

Increases in wages around 100 or 200 euros gross per month

The salaries of education personnel national is calculated by multiplying two criteria:

• the index plus , which is every agent in the salary. Throughout his career, according to his seniority and his own journey, a teacher sees his index plus evolve, and remuneration with.

We knew since March 2016 that the point index servants would increase from 55.5635 euros since July 2010 to 55.8968 euros in July 2016 and 56.2322 euros in February 2017. Moreover, the prime teachers of nursery and primary schools will be aligned with their colleagues in schools colleges (1200 euros), announced Manuel Valls early May.

this will add a career in upgrading the national education, through the increased index this time . Specifically, the base salary scale of teachers and career advancement opportunities will evolve once the 1 ^st January 2017 and a second in 1 ^st January 2019. the budget of this envelope is a billion euros, spread over 820,000 education personnel concerned.

overall, the gross monthly salary of teachers will increase from 2016 to 2020 …

• of 100 euros gross per month for beginning teachers;
• to 300 euros late career in cases “classic”
• up to 1 000 per month in the last years of practice in specific cases. For example for a “certified teacher who has been head teacher in 4 ^th for fifteen years and discipline coordinator.” This is important, since pensions are calculated on the latest treatments

.

a new “rank” and the wages that go with

one the main innovations is the emergence of a new degree for teachers of first and second degrees. So far, they began their career in “normal class” and could finish in the “Senior” according career criteria, which offered better salary prospects. From 2017, access to the “outside classroom” will be expanded and a new floor, “outstanding class” will be created.

The latter will be reserved primarily for teachers who have long exercised in priority education or have been director, teacher, school counselor or exercised in higher education. According to the Ministry, 10% of teachers would ultimately concerned with this class. In this system, the maximum salary will be about 25% higher than with the “Senior” Current

The salaries of teachers in French below the OECD average

Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, “these new measures will help to restore France above the OECD average, and achieve, nearing retirement, the level of the most favorable countries “.

in fact, France pays its teachers rather poorly compared to its neighbors. This was confirmed by comparing the OECD in 2014 annual salaries “real” (including bonuses and allowances) for teachers of its member countries in 2012. We learn that French salaries are below the average of the 36 countries studied from kindergarten to high school. They are far below those practiced in the United States or Germany, for example. And it is in primary school the gap is most pronounced (- 14% on average – 40% compared to Germany)

.

on this basis, the Ministry of education a document that compares wages planned for 2020 in college in France with those of OECD countries in 2013.

on wages in early activity the France pass again slightly before the OECD average and would be at the 16 ^th th out of 36 countries. The peaks late career would lie at relatively high levels, comparable to those of Germany or the 6 ^th or 7 ^th ranks. Salaries after fifteen year career, however, remain below the OECD average, around 18 ^th place.

Moreover, it is dangerous to compare salaries french in 2020 with those of other countries in 2013. They have also increased since whether to follow inflation or to upgrade the profession. It is therefore too early to announce that the French teachers will instead be paid more than the average in four years
