A paradox arises in the corridors of the National Education: on one side, teachers are still juggling stapled metro tickets and triplicate forms for a simple reimbursement. On the other side, just a few bus stops away, colleagues manage their replacements and check their pay slips with a few taps on a screen. Same ministry, but two digital universes that brush against each other without ever really meeting.
What a strange ballet it is for a teacher who can instantly find their pay slip but is forced to wait in front of a closed door to request a leave. Digitalization in the National Education moves at the variable speed of a hurried snail: bouncing here, timid there. Behind this project lies a question: will this technical transformation provide human management with a new breath, without sacrificing what makes public schooling unique?

Digitalization, a lever for transformation in human resources in the National Education
It is impossible to ignore the earthquake: the Ministry of National Education and Youth is shaking up habitual practices with its strategy for the digitalization of human resources. Nearly a million people, dozens of statuses, and procedures inherited from decades: the puzzle is monumental.
- nearly a million agents,
- a mosaic of statuses,
- complex processes inherited from decades of regulatory stacking.
The SEMSIRH, led by Emmanuel Spinat, orchestrates the digital transformation of the Human Resources Information System (SIRH) for several ministries. Its ambition? To eliminate mountains of forms in favor of digital solutions that streamline every step of the agents’ professional lives.

This revolution takes the form of a constellation of tools. RenoiRH handles non-teaching staff, Virtuo refines the management of skills and training, and MéSIRH secures the flow of sensitive data. The SIRH weaves its web from budget delegation to payroll, while proximity HR and ORBE aim to place individual listening and quality of life at the center of the game.
To accelerate this metamorphosis, the state calls upon the Interministerial Directorate for Public Transformation (DITP). The portal iProf Créteil stands out, for example, as a strategic entry point into the agents’ careers. As for the Court of Auditors, it emphasizes the urgency: the HR function must become more refined and individualized to address the crisis of vocations and the increase in contract recruitments.
- Modernization of HR tools led by SEMSIRH
- Interoperability and fluidity of exchanges thanks to MéSIRH
- Focus on skill development and staff well-being through dedicated initiatives
Process optimization, data-driven management, agile adaptation to field realities: digital transformation revolves around these axes, gradually outlining a new architecture for personnel management in the National Education.
What concrete impacts for staff and career management?
The daily life of National Education agents is changing. Digital platforms simplify the most tedious procedures: mobility, transfers, training, absence management. On the ground, the SIRH hubs deployed in Toulouse, Aix-Marseille, Versailles, Lille, or Paris rely on identified managers – Patrick Ungria or Nathalie Delfau, for example – determined to ensure a faster and more uniform management of files while lightening the load on administrative services.
The more frequent use of contract staff and AESH requires individualized and responsive management. Tools like Virtuo enable precise tracking of recruitments, skills, and integration. Proximity HR, supported by ORBE, reinvents staff listening, a critical issue in the face of the crisis of vocations and the tension in the teaching job market.
- Reduction of processing times for files through automation
- Personalization of career support through data collection and analysis
- Better visibility on career paths and training opportunities
The DITP provides its expertise for academies to reinvent HR management: Sihame Sellali leads the Performance Accelerator project, while Estelle Drye and Céline Kerenflec’h inject new momentum. The Court of Auditors reminds us of the challenge: it is now about supporting the diversity of careers and the evolution of jobs, without ever losing sight of the human quality of public service.
So, will digitalization mark the end of queues and lengthy forms, or will it represent a new stage in the subtle art of combining human and machine? The National Education moves forward, sometimes limping, sometimes sprinting. And each of its agents, somewhere between nostalgia for paper and the promise of all-digital, prepares to write the next chapter of the French administrative saga.
