Résumé

La demande d'enseignants diminue au moment où les universités sont en mesure de combler le manque de professionnels bien préparés. L'adaptation aux nouvelles réalités sera difficile, et des réactions excessives sont possibles. Nous examinons d'abord le cadre dans lequel s'inscrivent les décisions actuelles des autorités intéressées. Nous proposons ensuite quatre scénarios pour la négociation des réductions qui s'imposent. Ils sont tous le reflet d'initiatives de la profession, et en particulier des facultés d'éducation. Nous les soumettons à l'appréciation des pouvoirs publics et des autres secteurs de la société. Pris ensemble, ces scénarios innovent sensiblement par rapport aux solutions actuelles au problème de surcapacité.
