“I earn 902 euros a month”: an AESH denounces the comments of a majority deputy about her profession

“Working conditions are sometimes borderline unbearable, we support it because we have no other choice,” Hélène Penhouet says on BFMTV.

“I find that shocking.” Hélène Penhouet has been AESH (accompaniment of students with disabilities) for four years and reacted this Saturday on BFMTV to the comments of the Renaissance deputy Claire Guichard.

On Friday, the elected majority declared that the AESH are “mothers who stopped working at a moment to take care of their children, they choose that status to have Wednesdays in the school holidays and they assume, it is a choice.”

A wave of criticism from the opposition followed this statement and also for Hélène Penhouet, “what was said there I cannot pass up, I find it absurd, I even find it shocking for me and for all my colleagues in France”, she says. .

“Working conditions are sometimes on the verge of being unbearable”

If he says that he loves his job, remember that “unfortunately today it is quite poorly recognized, we don’t have a clear statute, we don’t have civil servant status,” he explains, stressing that “working conditions are sometimes at the limit of the unbearable, we put up with it because we have no other choice.”

In a press release against the pension reform at the beginning of the week, several unions had recalled the precariousness of this profession and the “salaries that remain at very insufficient levels”, while “AESH is subject to the general regime (retirement, editor’s note ) and not to the civil servants’ regime: their pension is calculated on the best 25 years and not on the last 6 months.”

“I’ve been in this job for four years, I’m waiting for an indefinite contract” to “be able to remove this sword of Damocles that I have above my head”, explains Hélène Penhouet. She says that she earns “902 euros a month after four years”.

“We want this civil servant status, we want a salary increase”

“It is important that this evolve quickly, we do not have status, we want this civil servant status, we want a salary increase, it is necessary to be able to live with dignity,” adds the AESH.

The Ministry of Education highlights on its website the increase in AESH’s salary in the last two years, writing that they have benefited, among other things, “from an average profit of + €1083 gross/year”. In 2021 and 2022 “150 million euros will thus have been mobilized to improve the remuneration of AESH”.

Mother of a disabled girl, Hélène Penhouet also denounces, in the other sense, the difficult access of children to adequate places of schooling, declaring that her daughter had to wait 4 years before being able to access an IME (Medical-educational Institute). .
