HIBAPRESS
The Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, inaugurated today, Wednesday, in the capital Rabat, the second session of the National Forum for Teachers, in a context that reflects the increasing importance that the state attaches to the education sector, as a fundamental entry point for building human beings and strengthening the foundations of development.
The Head of Government stressed that investing in teachers remains the most effective and productive option, not only in terms of improving the quality of education, but also in preparing generations capable of facing the challenges of the future and contributing to the development of the nation, considering that the bet of educational reform passes, first and foremost, through enabling the teacher to perform his mission in the best conditions. Aziz Akhannouch confirmed that organizing this forum under royal patronage embodies the special care that His Majesty the King gives to the education family, based on a firm belief in the pivotal role it plays in educating rising generations and consolidating the values of citizenship and knowledge within society. At the beginning of his speech, the Head of Government extended a greeting of appreciation to the various actors in the educational system, from officials and institutions, to teachers, stressing that this meeting constitutes a qualitative station to consolidate an institutional tradition based on direct dialogue and serious listening, as it is a strategic and irreversible option in managing education reform. In clear political language, Aziz Akhannouch highlighted that real reform cannot be imposed from above, but is built from within the classrooms, where the daily educational action is embodied. He considered that making “the teacher at the heart of educational transformation” is not just a slogan, but reflects a decisive government orientation that links the success of the reform to ensuring the dignity of the teacher and his professional stability, as they are essential conditions for any real transformation in the system. The Head of Government pointed out that this approach has been translated into concrete measures since the current government assumed its responsibilities, within the framework of a reformist vision that aims to restore the prestige of the teaching profession after years of challenges, in line with the royal directives calling for the advancement of the conditions of teachers and improving their working conditions. In this context, Aziz Akhannouch highlighted that the teacher is not reduced to being an employee performing administrative tasks, but is a pivotal actor in building human beings, and a carrier of a noble message that contributes to creating hope and consolidating confidence within society. Which requires continuing to invest in this human resource as the cornerstone of all reform.
