Minister of National Education, Chakib Benmoussa told Hespress that approximately 90,000 individuals working in education joined the strike, emphasizing the importance of addressing the concerns of these educators.

The figure represents roughly 30% of the total workforce in the education sector, which comprises more than 300,000 employees and educational staff. This figure contrasts with claims by union representatives who asserted that strike participation exceeded 90% in various regions, indicating a significant disparity between the ministry’s numbers and the union’s reported rates.

He pointed out the need to offer explanations and assurances to alleviate their apprehensions.

Benmoussa also highlighted the challenges faced by teachers in mountainous regions, particularly housing issues that affect their ability to work with dedication. He stressed the necessity of acknowledging these problems and improving working conditions for educators in these areas.
