Teachers in Paris Region Strike Against Planned Education Job Cuts
The walkout comes after the government announced the elimination of 4,000 teaching positions nationwide for the 2026 school year. Educators from the Paris, Creteil, and Versailles academies participated in demonstrations in the capital, moving toward the Education Ministry.
Teacher representatives explained the strike, saying: "Everywhere, in schools and institutions, in classrooms, in student life, in services, we need more staff to ensure a quality public service."
They stressed that the planned job cuts would directly affect both teachers and students.
“With these job cuts, our working conditions and ultimately the learning conditions of our students will deteriorate further, while private education remains completely unaffected,” they added.
The action follows earlier strikes that began in some Paris schools on Feb. 10, with educators demanding “the immediate cancellation” of the planned reductions and a national education budget that adequately supports schools, particularly those in priority education zones.
