Growing Tensions Among Educators in Fes

On October 2, 2026, a notable increase in tension has been observed among the educational workforce in Fes, driven by the ongoing accumulation of unresolved issues related to the management of the current school year. The primary concerns include the handling of surplus and shortage of teaching staff, assignment issues, and regional mobility within the education sector. These unresolved matters have led the regional office of the National Education Syndicate, affiliated with the Democratic Federation of Labor in Fes, to announce plans for an anticipated protest aimed at advocating for the administrative and financial rights of teachers and educational staff.

Call for Transparency and Equal Treatment

The union has urged the regional directorate of the Ministry of National Education in Fes to adhere to principles of transparency and fairness in addressing the raised issues. They emphasized the need for equal treatment of all social partners and compliance with the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks. The statement highlighted that while the union remains committed to dialogue, it does not preclude the option of taking collective action. Furthermore, the regional office will maintain an open meeting status to monitor developments and determine the nature and date of the upcoming protest within the next few days, encouraging educators in the region to unite and prepare for collective action to safeguard their rights and dignity.
