HIBAPRESS – Chafiq Anouri
The Unified Coordination of Teaching Staff and Support Staff in Berrechid expressed strong condemnation of what it called the "procrastination" of the Ministry of National Education and Initial Education in implementing its agreements with the workers.
This came in a statement from the coordination, a copy of which was received by the "HIBAPRESS" website, following an extraordinary meeting on Sunday, October 5, on the occasion of World Teachers' Day, and in commemoration of the second anniversary of the "launch of the educational movement". The Unified Coordination of Teaching Staff and Support Staff in Berrechid praised "the tremendous efforts made by the educational workers, foremost among them the teaching staff, in order to build generations and develop society". The coordination strongly condemned "the procrastination of the supervising ministry in implementing the agreements and commitments, as well as the absence of a real will to resolve the pending issues of all groups within the education system, foremost among them the files of the teaching staff". The same body affirmed its absolute and unconditional solidarity with "the detained teacher Idriss Ben Yahya, one of the activists of the existing coordination for the teaching staff in the Berrechid province, who was sentenced to three years in prison because of his stances", demanding "his release and the cessation of all follow-ups because of opinion, expression, and demonstration". The coordination strongly condemned "all forms of repression, harassment, and arrests that affected various segments of society during the peaceful popular movement, including women, minors, and youth, only because they expressed their legitimate social and economic demands guaranteed by the constitution". The coordination affirmed "the absence of the political will to implement real reforms that are fair to public schools, and to deal positively with the just and legitimate demands of women and men of education", calling on the workers in the Berrechid province, in their various categories, to "unite ranks in preparation for engaging in all legitimate forms of struggle in defense of public schools and the just demands of women and men of education".
