With the arrival of the new Minister of National Education, it seems that the ministry is now moving in the right direction and many things are in the process of finding tangible solutions.
Certainly, there are many problems which are still suspended but it may be that the new minister has already given the impression of wanting to put an end to certain misunderstandings which are still delaying the launch of the education system in our country.
Still, to start well and do well, the Ministry of National Education has just closed the file of suspended teachers. The department of Mohamed Saad Berrada announced the definitive resolution of the case of suspended teachers, whose salaries had been interrupted following protest movements against the unified status.
Significant progress has been made in the ongoing negotiations on the new status of teachers. Among the main advances:
Settlement of 2009 and 2011 files: taking into account administrative seniority as general seniority for advancement in grade, an agreement reached between the Ministries of National Education, Finance and Civil Service.
Transfer management: resolution of problems related to ranks and tenure for teachers transferred between academies, with coordinated monitoring with the departments concerned.
Specific training: possibility offered to teachers assigned outside their specialty, guidance and planning advisors, as well as supervisors, to express their interest in specific training, without immediate obligation for this school year.
The deployment of decisions and decrees relating to the new status is approximately 70% complete, and discussions are continuing to resolve the remaining issues, in particular the establishment of a special status for aggregate teachers. The unions insist on taking their observations into account, particularly with regard to the training of non-specialist teachers, in order to guarantee their retention in their current establishments and the preservation of their seniority.
