Patrick Remakel, president of the SNE, praised the fact that daycares will ensure the implementation of the free homework tutelage, which has been newly introduced this year.
To facilitate communication between teachers, educators, parents, and children, an electronic version of the homework diary, called ‘e-diary’, has also been introduced. SNE representatives argued that the use of the e-diary should not be mandated, however.
When it comes to the pilot project allowing children to learn reading and writing in French rather than German, SNE demands that pupils are clearly separated in different classes instead of learning in parallel manner.
Officials at the briefing also argued that the teaching job should be made more attractive and that the path to becoming a teacher should require a master degree.
