The session, presided over by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, resulted in a consensus on crucial issues aimed at enhancing the working conditions of teachers.
Following the meeting, union leaders highlighted the government's endorsement of demands pertaining to the freezing of the new status for National Education civil servants and an improvement in the sector's employees' income. Miloud Maassid, the Secretary General of the National Education Federation (UMT), conveyed a positive atmosphere during the discussions, emphasizing the government's political will to enhance the material conditions of civil servants in the sector and refrain from salary deductions for strikers.

Youssef Allakouch, Secretary General of the Free Teaching Federation (UGMT), acknowledged the government's agreement on four key points raised by the unions. These points included the freezing and subsequent amendment of the teachers' status, income improvement for education civil servants, and the halt of administrative measures and levies against strikers.
