Education Coordination rejects government's promises, announces prolonged strike and protests

The National Coordination for the Education Sector held a meeting devoted to examining developments in the educational crisis in Morocco on Sunday.

The coordination announced in a statement a national strike on Thursday December 21 and and Friday 22, with regional protests being organized on Thursday.

This step comes after the government presented, Saturday, a number of promises to the National University for Education – Democratic Orientation and National Coordination of the Education Sector (consisting of 25 coordination).

The government proposed to the unions to withdraw the controversial unified statute and halt pay cuts starting Monday, if teachers agree to resume schooling on Monday.

The Coordination and unions were tasked with transferring the proposals to the education professionals, who responded by announcing a new strike this upcoming week.

Teachers on strike tell Hespress EN sources that this refusal is based on the lack of trust the sector professionals now have regarding the government, saying “only an official concretization of demands and promises will end strikes.”
