HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zerriouh
The suffering of students from the city of Driouch continues with the constraints related to university transport, in light of what they describe as daily difficulties affecting their commute to university institutions and their study conditions.
These problems intensify during the month of Ramadan, as well as on days when classes continue until late hours, raising questions about the adequacy of available transport services for students' needs.
In this context, the students announced a list of demands including a set of points aimed at improving university transport services, most notably providing an additional trip on Saturday at 10:30 AM, alongside finding practical solutions for the difficulties they face during Ramadan, ensuring continuity of their commute in suitable conditions, and reducing obstacles that may affect their academic progress.
The students also demanded the fulfillment of previous promises regarding the provision of a dedicated bus for Master's students, emphasizing the need for the continuation of transport services for this category and students of the Higher School of Technology (EST), without linking their access to transport to the cessation of classes for Bachelor's students, considering that the difference in study schedules requires a measure that responds to the needs of different university categories.
Among the points raised in the list of demands is the review of the evening return trip's timing to align with the end of class schedules, especially for students whose studies end at 5:30 PM. Those making the demands also stressed the importance of respect for students by the bus drivers, adopting professional and responsible behavior that ensures travel safety and preserves the dignity of the beneficiaries, away from any behavior that could lead to friction or a feeling of insult.
In conclusion to their demands, the students of Driouch city called on their colleagues to engage with the list of demands and unite efforts to convey their concerns to the relevant authorities, affirming that improving university transport is not a privilege, but a necessity to ensure equal opportunities and continue studying in suitable conditions. The response to these demands and finding practical solutions for them remains contingent on the responsiveness of the responsible authorities to the students' expectations, ensuring regular university transport that meets their needs and respects their dignity.
