The MR-Les Engagés majority keeps its promises: priority temporary teachers keep a job at the start of the 2026-2027 school year.
From the start of the school year, a transitional measure is being put in place to protect priority temporary teachers who are affected by the reform introducing 22 periods in upper secondary education.
The mechanism is simple: teachers whose workload would decrease will exceptionally be allocated additional periods. The aim is clear: these teachers should retain, until 31 December 2026, a workload equivalent to that which they had on 3 July 2026. These periods will be devoted to teaching or organisational tasks within the school, ensuring both the continuity of teaching teams and the retention of the experience acquired by the teachers concerned.
This provision follows on from the temporary freeze on reassignment procedures between organising authorities, already provided for in the programme decree of 5 June 2026. Together, these two mechanisms pursue the same goal: enabling a gradual implementation of the reform while preserving the stability of teaching teams and pedagogical continuity for the benefit of pupils.
MPs Guillaume Soupart (MR) and Loïc Jacob (Les Engagés) and their colleagues are putting forward the draft decree guaranteeing that no priority temporary teacher affected by this reform will suffer an immediate loss of workload at the start of the school year.
With this initiative, the MR-Les Engagés majority intends to guarantee a balanced and responsible transition.
The Government will evaluate this measure at the end of the reassignment process for the 2026-2027 school year so that, if necessary, the scheme can be extended until 2 July 2027 at the latest.
