More than 70% of teachers questioned by the Autonomous Teaching Federation (FAE) observe a deterioration in their psychological health due to the context and the constraints imposed This is revealed by a consultation carried out with of more than 3,500 members, from September 16 to 25 Results which lead the FAE to ask the government to better support the network of public schools while the second wave sweeps over Quebec
“The teachers, like their young and adult students as well as their parents, were all enthusiastic about the reopening of schools. Our members were also very concerned to respect essential health standards. However, it is clear that the teaching profession, which was already suffering, is even more so today because of the pandemic The situation is very critical, in particular because of the second wave which is sweeping at the moment and whose magnitude, according to several experts , is explained by the model adopted by the government to operate the start of the school year.The situation will continue to worsen if nothing is done by the government as well as by the school service centers and the management of schools on the question of psychological health They have a responsibility to provide a safe working environment for their employees, ”says Sylvain Mallette, president of the FAE. / p>
According to the survey, more than 80% of respondents saw their task increase compared to what it was before the COVID-19 pandemic In fact, 78% of them must spend time disinfecting their premises and the educational tools they need to teach; 65% have to do much more time supervising students; 70% of them were spending « precious minutes » supervising the washing of their students’ hands; 71% of them spend part of their day reminding their students of the instructions to enforce health and safety measures One in two teachers must devote at least 30 minutes a day to perform tasks that are not relevant no teaching and support activities for students reported the union which represents nearly 49,000 teachers
The AWF is also wondering how much time is left each day that is truly dedicated to teaching, because of all these new constraints “The solution lies, among other things, in refocusing the teachers’ work on teaching The government must send dedicated envelopes to school service centers to hire teams of people who will come and help to accomplish the tasks of disinfection, monitoring, etc. Otherwise, the shortage of teachers will worsen by Christmas « , anticipates the president of the AWF
