Moroccan Teachers Plan Strike Over Job Security and Working Conditions

Young Moroccan teachers and teachers are not letting up. On the sidelines of the upcoming school year, they are planning a strike movement to denounce the precariousness of the profession, the privatization of the sector and demand the status of civil servant, but above all the end of legal proceedings against their colleagues.
Some 55,000 young teachers in the national education system recruited on fixed-term contracts (CDD) continue to cry out their discontent, not convinced by the government’s proposals. They plan a protest movement on September 2.
Among other demands, the teachers demand the hiring of their contractual colleagues not yet integrated into the civil service, the payment of salary arrears and bonuses for the years 2016, 2017 and 2021, as well as better working conditions.
Also, these "contract workers" are still demanding civil servant status within the Ministry of Education and are protesting against the deductions that have affected the salaries of some of their colleagues. "No to the dismantling of public education", "integration or nothing" and "no to contractualization" would be among the planned slogans.
The arrest of some teachers who have decided to reinvest the street has been the climax in the tug-of-war with the authorities. Accused of offenses against the measures of the state of emergency, of unauthorized gathering and of contempt of institutions, they will soon appear before the courts.
