French AESH worker labor and status disputes
Overview
Companions for Students with Disabilities (AESH) in France are highlighting severe challenges regarding their working conditions and professional status. Initially, workers reported physical and emotional strain caused by managing violent outbursts from students and performing heavy hygiene duties without adequate training in ergonomics or first aid. These issues are compounded by a lack of specialized medical-educational institutes, forcing staff to rely on “permanent makeshift solutions” to support students in regular schools.
As the situation has evolved, the focus has shifted toward structural reform and job security. Because AESH currently operate as contract workers, they face socio-economic uncertainty through fixed-term contracts. The SNALC union is now advocating for these assistants to be integrated into the state civil service with Category B status, which would provide tenure, protection against arbitrary dismissal, and improved salary scales.
