A group of teachers and substitute professors whose names were not included in the second wave of recruitment at the Ministry of Education announced a sit-in protest, planned for Monday, October 27 in front of the government headquarters in Kasbah. Their demand: to be included in the promotion concerned by Presidential Decree No. 21 of 2025.
Teachers excluded despite years of service
According to Chaima Naffati, coordinator of the group, around 110 substitute teachers from primary and secondary education, from different regions, are involved. They claim to have worked between 2006 and 2024, with salaries paid regularly, thus meeting all the legal and administrative conditions required for regularization, reports the TAP agency.
Yet their names do not appear in the ministry’s digital database, although they appear in the official paper version, she said.
A sit-in that could evolve into a hunger strike
Teachers say the movement will be open and could turn into a hunger strike if the Ministry of Education does not react quickly.
“The legal deadlines for the application of the presidential decree expire in January 2026. Beyond that, we will lose our right to recruitment,” warned Naffati, denouncing the prolonged silence of the authorities despite several steps taken since last January with regional education delegations.
Persistent tensions around recruitment
This protest takes place in a tense social context within the education sector, where several categories of contract workers and substitutes have been demanding for months the regularization of their professional status. The Ministry of Education has not yet officially reacted to this new mobilization.
