Morocco's educators plan mass demonstration amid stalled reforms
Teachers across Morocco will gather for a major protest on February 1 outside Rabat's Ministry of National Education, as tensions escalate over what unions describe as unfulfilled government commitments.
The upcoming demonstration stems from mounting frustration over several key issues, including the demand for unrestricted promotions to grade 11 and compensation for educators currently at grade 10. Union representatives emphasize these are fundamental employment rights rather than optional benefits.
At the heart of the dispute lies the teachers' call for retroactive administrative and financial compensation, along with their strong opposition to proposed changes in strike legislation. The union has also voiced concerns about plans to consolidate the public and private social security funds (CNOPS and CNSS), arguing this merger could diminish existing worker benefits.
In a statement shared on social media, union officials expressed particular concern about what they view as deliberate delays in implementing previously negotiated agreements, especially those reached after January 9. They warn that the current impasse threatens to undermine progress achieved through earlier negotiations.
This latest development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing dialogue between Morocco's education sector and government authorities, highlighting the growing urgency for resolution of these longstanding employment issues.
