Ongoing Struggles of Educational Administrators in Taza
The regional office of the National Education Syndicate in Taza has been closely monitoring the latest developments in the educational landscape of the region, particularly focusing on the ongoing challenges and issues that have emerged with the start of the current school year. Educational administrators, including both male and female officials, are enduring significant daily hardships, exacerbated by being assigned tasks that exceed their capabilities amidst a critical shortage of administrative staff across several educational institutions. In light of these circumstances, the syndicate's regional office has issued a detailed statement outlining the various constraints and difficulties faced by educational administrators this academic year, urgently calling for an end to their suffering and the fulfillment of previously made commitments and agreements.
The regional office has commended the resilience of educational administrators, recognizing their responsible participation in the legitimate struggle for their dignity and professional rights. The statement also calls upon the regional directorate to disburse the compensation dues owed to administrative staff, as agreed upon with the most representative unions at the conclusion of the last academic year. Additionally, the office urges the regional directorate to promptly provide administrative staff to institutions suffering from severe shortages, including Al-Zaytoun Middle School, Jabir Ibn Hayyan High School, Tizi Wasli High School, Imam Malik Middle School, November 6 Middle School, Ibn Yasmine High School, and Al-Wahda High School, among others facing similar predicaments.
Calls for Accountability and Improved Communication
The office has held the regional academy for education and training, as well as the regional directorate, responsible for the failure to implement effective solutions to address the significant shortage of administrative staff, which has placed an overwhelming burden on most directors and led some to consider resigning, further exacerbating the situation. There has been a vehement condemnation of the immediate responses to malicious and anonymous complaints targeting certain administrators, including directors, which are deemed unacceptable and retaliatory actions against a crucial segment of the educational system, whose role is as vital as that of other educational components.
The statement emphasizes the urgent need to establish attendance offices and provide the necessary staff and administrative frameworks to manage these offices effectively, ensuring organized and systematic processes for recording and tracking attendance rather than burdening students with such responsibilities or overloading general supervisors with tasks beyond their original roles. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity for functional phone numbers for supervisors and general supervisors to facilitate professional communication, thus eliminating the reliance on personal phones for administrative duties. The regional office also calls for a review of working hours and the clear definition of tasks and responsibilities to prevent overlaps and conflicts in duties.
Moreover, the syndicate vehemently opposes assigning tasks outside the original responsibilities of educational administrators at leading institutions, asserting that the management of these facilities must be anchored in clear task delineation, adequate human resources, and respect for working conditions to safeguard the mental and professional well-being of all employees. The regional office expressed its astonishment at the apparent lack of genuine commitment from the ministry to enhance the framework and uphold original duties, urging all administrative and educational staff to maintain unity within the union as it is essential for preserving the dignity of educational administrators and advocating for their rights and legitimate entitlements. In conclusion, the National Education Syndicate announced its readiness to pursue all legitimate forms of activism in defense of educational administrators to safeguard their achievements and secure their rights.
