Schools often have no choice but to hire teachers who do not have the required qualification to teach certain subjects.
In France, the shortage of teachers is pushing establishments to be creative in finding teaching staff. At the beginning of June, the academy of Versailles relaunched the debate on the level of qualification of teachers by organizing “job dating”, that is to say interviews of around thirty minutes aimed at recruiting quickly. teachers. The problem? No pedagogical diploma or probative experience was required of the candidates. Future teachers selected via this program will only benefit from a one-week training course before being launched into the deep end of the school. This initiative did not arouse only positive reactions, observers denouncing in particular the low level of knowledge of the school reality of the candidates.
In Belgium too, the shortage of teachers is a phenomenon well known to those involved in education. Accelerated training to become a teacher, such as that which was recently organized in Versailles, does not exist in our country.
