Incident of Violence at Examination Center in Fes
The regional office of the National Union of Education (FNE) in Fes has issued a strong statement condemning the serious incident of physical assault that targeted the head of an exam center at the Al-Adarissa Secondary School in Fes. This unfortunate event occurred on the evening of Tuesday, June 2, 2026, when the administrative head caught several candidates cheating during the regional unified exam for the baccalaureate, leading to the official documentation of their infractions in accordance with legal procedures.
The union expressed its unwavering support for the affected head of the center and all the educational and administrative staff dedicated to ensuring the success of this crucial national assessment. The statement highlighted that such aggressive behavior could have led to a significant disaster within the institutional premises if not for the prompt and decisive intervention of various security authorities who responded immediately after being notified, which helped to contain the escalating situation and prevent serious consequences.
The National Union of Education in Fes deemed this attack a severe violation of the sanctity of educational institutions and the safety and dignity of educators. They warned that any leniency in addressing such disgraceful acts would only encourage the proliferation of violence within educational spaces, directly jeopardizing the conducive conditions necessary for effective teaching and administration, which should characterize these examination periods.
Additionally, the regional office held the regional directorate of the Ministry of National Education in Fes fully accountable, criticizing what they termed a "unilateral, haphazard, and chaotic approach" to managing this national examination. The statement noted the lack of responsiveness from the directorate to the observations and suggestions from social partners aimed at ensuring well-organized conditions and adequate security measures across examination centers to protect the supervising personnel.
In conclusion, the statement called for a genuine and responsible dialogue with social partners to adopt a truly participatory approach in managing significant educational events. It urged for the prosecution of all individuals involved in this assault, demanding strict legal consequences against them. The union reaffirmed its complete readiness to engage in all legitimate forms of protest to preserve the integrity of educational institutions, reiterating that the protection of educational staff and ensuring their physical and professional safety is a collective responsibility that cannot be compromised.
