French President Emmanuel Macron has promised more pay rises for teachers amid a recruitment crisis that has led to around 4,000 school vacancies ahead of the start of term.

A week before classes open after the summer holidays, Mr Macron told school heads that efforts to raise teacher salaries which began in 2020 would"continue."

Education Minister Pap Ndiaye acknowledged in July that salaries were"objectively not at the sort of level that one would expect." A school district in Versailles southwest of Paris organised 30-minute interviews with 2,000 candidates from outside the profession in June. "We've seen school authorities and the ministry improvising in every way possible to make sure there is a teacher in front of every class," she said.
