Union Condemns Violent Incident During Baccalaureate Exams in Fes
On June 3, 2026, the National Union of Education (FNE) in Fes issued a strong condemnation of what they termed a "serious assault" that occurred against the head of the examination center at the Al-Adarissa High School. This incident took place on the evening of Tuesday, June 2, during the regional unified exams for the first year of the Baccalaureate, after a number of candidates were caught cheating.
The regional office of the union stated in a press release that the incident erupted as the educational administration began to implement the legal procedures applicable in such cases by drafting official reports regarding the concerned candidates. However, the situation escalated into a physical assault on the center head while he was performing his duties. Fortunately, the prompt intervention of security services prevented the incident from worsening and averted more serious consequences. The union praised the swift response that helped regain control of the situation within the educational institution.
The National Union of Education expressed its full solidarity with the center head and all educational and administrative staff overseeing the examinations, asserting that such actions represent an attack on the dignity of the educational institution and pose a threat to the safety of its employees while they fulfill their professional obligations.
Call for Legal Action and Improvement of Exam Conditions
In light of this troubling event, the union called for the necessary legal measures to be taken against those involved, ensuring that they do not escape punishment and that the rights of educational staff are protected from various forms of violence. Furthermore, the regional office criticized perceived shortcomings in the management of the examination process, holding the regional directorate of national education in Fes accountable for not considering several proposals and recommendations previously submitted by social partners aimed at enhancing safety and organization within examination centers.
The union emphasized that the success of educational assessments is contingent upon adopting a collaborative approach that involves all relevant parties. They urged for the establishment of communication channels and coordination that would contribute to improving working conditions for educational and administrative staff while securing educational institutions.
In conclusion, the National Union of Education reiterated its absolute rejection of all forms of violence within the school environment, affirming its commitment to defending the dignity of teachers and preserving the sanctity of educational institutions as spaces for learning and academic achievement.
