Morocco: good news for higher education civil servants

After several rounds of negotiations with the unions, the Department of Higher Education has decided on the terms of this revaluation. Unlike standard allowances, this 1,000 dirham increase will be integrated into the "permanent and fixed allowances", an essential component of the salary that directly influences the calculation of the retirement pension.

The ministry will cover the deductions so that the final gain on the pay slip is exactly 1,000 dirhams, thus avoiding the reductions observed during previous reforms.

On the logistical and financial level:

• Centralized financing: The increase will be covered by the general state budget and not by the own budgets of the universities, thus guaranteeing its payment to all establishments.

• Schedule: Implementation is planned in a gradual manner starting this summer 2026, the time to finalize the technical and administrative procedures with the Ministry of Finance.

• Model: This formula follows the model already applied in other public sectors, such as National Education, ensuring a certain equity between the different civil service bodies.

Although the ministry had initially proposed to pay this amount as early as this month through university budgets, the unions insisted on a direct integration into the centralized salary. This choice, although it requires a few additional weeks of processing, definitively secures the increase for the beneficiaries in the long term.
