France's proposed 2027 budget would increase funding for national education to 64 billion euros, even as the plan eliminates 1,588 permanent teaching positions, according to Le Monde.
The increased funding is intended to finance the creation of new positions, including trainee teacher posts and assistants supporting students with disabilities, reflecting priorities around classroom support and inclusion.
At the same time, the reduction in permanent teaching posts is linked to declining student enrollment numbers across France, a demographic trend that has been reshaping staffing needs in the national education system for several years.
The budget reflects a broader tension in French education policy between rising per-pupil investment in support services and specialized staff, and an overall contraction in the teaching workforce tied to fewer students.
Teachers' unions and education advocates have in the past raised concerns about the elimination of permanent teaching posts, even when accompanied by increased funding elsewhere in the education budget, arguing that it can affect class sizes and working conditions.
The 2027 budget proposal will need to go through France's legislative process before being finalized, with education funding likely to remain a point of debate given the scale of the sector's workforce and spending.
