The liberal and socialist unions active in education in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (FWB) announce on Sunday that they will file a strike notice on Monday August 28, back to school day. In question: the decree on the development of skills and the evaluation of teachers approved by the parliament of the FWB on July 19th.
The strike notice will cover “any action by the end of the legislature”, warn SETCa-SEL, CGSP-Teaching, SLFP-Teaching and Appel in a joint press release. “The timing and modalities of the actions are, to date, not yet established. They will depend above all on the will of the Government to work and to advance on the rest of our demands”, they specify.
Among their desiderata, we note the reduction of class size, the enhancement of qualifying education or the alignment of the academic rhythm of higher education with that newly adopted by compulsory education.
The controversial decree on the development of skills and the evaluation of teachers voted on July 19 aims to develop for its teachers, in particular the youngest, a plan for the development of their professional skills.
In the event of deficiency or manifest unwillingness at the end of the training, an evaluation procedure may be launched. It involves an individual support plan for each teacher. At the end of this and if no progress is observed, a dismissal procedure may be initiated. However, an appeal is possible.
The socialist and liberal trade unions describe this decree as “deplorable” and consider it a “disastrous change of course in the Pact for teaching excellence”.
