Dès la prochaine rentrée scolaire, une centaine d’écoles primaires de la province verront arriver des aides-enseignants dans leurs classes. Il s’agit d’un projet-pilote de Québec qui s’inscrit dans un plan de 140 millions de dollars pour « valoriser le personnel scolaire ».

Ces « aides à la classe » seront embauchées pour effectuer des tâches non pédagogiques, a expliqué le ministre de l’Éducation Jean-François Roberge en point de presse. Québec entend pour ce faire « miser sur le personnel de soutien » des écoles.
« Il ne s’agit pas de dire : “Tu deviens l’enseignant d’univers social ou de mathématiques”. C’est de faire tout ce qui vient alléger la tâche de nos enseignants. […] With our kids, it’s sometimes logical: it’s winter boots, dressing, undressing, making sure everyone has their equipment ready at the right time, making life easier in the classroom, ”the minister explained.
For the first year, 100 schools will be selected and they can rely on two full-time individuals to assist teachers. Eventually, the government wants to expand the program to about 2,000 elementary schools in the province.

“This will make it possible for employees, especially day care workers, to have higher pay hours, which will encourage attraction in the area,” Minister Roberz noted.
The announcement is part of a $ 140 million four – year plan to “reaffirm and publicly recognize the key role of 221,477 school staff.”
The program includes $ 64 million to support the professional development of teachers and 20 million to better monitor teaching coaches.
The $ 7 million will be used to “promote a positive outlook on public space, school staff and education.”
“I think we should promote everything good in our schools,” said Minister Jean-Franசois Roberz.
