Carte blanche \u00a0\u00ab Qui veut encore des enseignants ? \u00bb<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWho still wants teachers?\u201d \"Qui veut encore des enseignants?\" This is the question posed by the French educational theorist Philippe Meirieu in the title of his latest book. It is a question that sounds like a warning\u2014addressed to policymakers, to parents, to all of us. Behind the shortage of teachers lies a deeper question: what is school actually for? It is this question that Gaston Ternes explores in this carte blanche.<\/p>\n

A mathematical explanation? One click. A summary? Two seconds. A ready-made solution? Generated by a machine. In such a world, the question seems almost logical: who still wants teachers?

\nAren\u2019t we confusing information with education, and solutions with the process of learning?<\/p>\n

For Philippe Meirieu, this question is not a provocation but a bitter observation. There is a shortage of teachers\u2014and not merely in numerical terms. It reflects a deeper cultural drift. For years, the same rhetoric has been repeated: \u201cuseful skills,\u201d \u201cadaptation to the labor market.\u201d Schools are expected to deliver results that are fast, efficient, and measurable.<\/p>\n

When this logic prevails, education is reduced to a purely economic function\u2014and something essential is lost. A teacher is not a search engine with a human face. A teacher is a presence: someone who encourages, who challenges, who guides. Critical thinking, judgment, and a sense of responsibility do not fall from the sky; they are learned and lived. And therein lies something fundamental.<\/p>\n

A democracy cannot endure if its citizens merely function. School is a place where young people learn to think, to question, to weigh arguments\u2014and to understand that a person\u2019s worth does not lie solely in their utility.<\/p>\n

Parents want their children to have a profession\u2014but also discernment, self-confidence, and a true education.<\/p>\n

Teachers do not merely want to implement curricula; they want to convey meaning in what is taught. When that meaning is lost, the profession loses its appeal.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence is transforming education, but it cannot replace what lies at its core: relationships, attention, trust. Behind every doctor, every craftsperson, every researcher stands a teacher who once sparked a flame.<\/p>\n

So: who still wants teachers? We need them more than ever\u2014not in opposition to technology, but for what no machine can do: to guide young people and help them find their own path.<\/p>\n

Education does not arise from algorithms, but from human beings.<\/p>\n

On this 20th of March, International Day of Happiness, the alarming figures on the well-being of children and young people should bring this message sharply into focus.<\/p>\n
