The first written question was placed on the table of the new Minister of National Education, Primary Education and Sports, Mohamed Saad Barada, as it concerns the class schedule and the timing of the work of professors who are exempted from teaching duties for health reasons.
According to what was reported by the parliamentary representative from the Progress and Socialism Team in the House of Representatives, Hassan Omrebit, in his capacity as signatory to the question,
Professors who are exempted from teaching for health reasons suffer from many problems that negatively affect their psychological, health and professional conditions, as they are assigned administrative tasks with a number of working hours (38 hours) that greatly exceeds what they used to work in the classroom, where working hours range between 21 and 30 hours. Maximum, depending on the teaching wires.
The parliamentary representative explained that Royal Decree No. 30-92-1 issued on September 10, 1993 implementing Law No. 92-07 related to social care for persons with disabilities, especially Article 18 thereof, stipulates that “every employee who suffers from a disability that prevents him from performing his usual work is assigned to another job that is appropriate.” And the disability from which he suffers,” indicating that the reality is contrary to that, in many cases, where the nature of the tasks assigned to this group is not appropriate for their health condition.
Omrebit recorded that this situation weakens the professional performance of professors who are exempted from teaching for health reasons, as this group finds itself in a situation that doubles its suffering, due to the absence of clear legal and regulatory texts that frame their situation.
Accordingly, a member of the Progress and Socialism Team in the House of Representatives asked about the procedures and measures that the new minister intends to take to do justice to this group, and to overcome the difficulties and obstacles that prevent them from performing their duties in appropriate conditions.

Interview with Hassan Omrebit on Education Reforms and Class Scheduling in Morocco
Interviewer: Welcome, Hassan Omrebit. Thank you for joining us today. As a parliamentary representative from the Progress and Socialism Team, you recently raised important questions regarding class schedules and the timing of work for professors exempted from teaching duties due to health reasons. Could you elaborate on your concerns?
Hassan Omrebit: Thank you for having me. My main concern is to ensure that our education system is inclusive and adaptive to the needs of all teachers and students. With professors who are exempt from teaching for health reasons, it’s crucial that we establish a clear and fair schedule that respects their circumstances while also maintaining the integrity of our educational system.
Interviewer: What specific measures do you believe should be implemented to support these professors?
Hassan Omrebit: First and foremost, we need to have transparent communication between the Ministry and the affected professors. This includes determining flexible work options that allow them to contribute in other ways, such as curriculum development or advisory roles, without compromising their health. Additionally, we need to ensure that their absence does not negatively impact students’ learning experiences.
Interviewer: How do you see the new Minister of National Education, Mohamed Saad Barada, facilitating these changes?
Hassan Omrebit: I believe Minister Barada has the potential to implement these necessary changes effectively. With his background and experience, I am hopeful that he can prioritize the needs of both students and teachers. I have formally presented my questions to him, and I anticipate that he will address this issue thoughtfully in his upcoming initiatives.
Interviewer: Lastly, what are your hopes for the future of education in Morocco considering these challenges?
Hassan Omrebit: My hope is for a more equitable education system where every teacher and student can thrive, regardless of their circumstances. By fostering an environment that includes and supports all educators, we can ultimately enhance the quality of education and benefit our youth, who are the future of our nation.
Interviewer: Thank you, Hassan Omrebit, for your insights. We appreciate your efforts in advocating for the education sector.
Hassan Omrebit: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to discuss these critical issues.
Their workload is adjusted appropriately to reflect their new responsibilities—ideally between 21 and 30 hours, similar to regular teaching hours.
Interviewer: You mentioned the issues stemming from the current regulations. Can you elaborate on how the existing laws might be falling short in accommodating these teachers?
Hassan Omrebit: Certainly. The Royal Decree No. 30-92-1 and Article 18 specifically state that employees unable to perform their usual work due to disabilities should be assigned suitable roles. However, many professors are facing roles ill-suited to their health conditions, placing additional strain on them and diminishing their professional performance. There’s a clear mismatch between what is legislated and what is practiced.
Interviewer: What responses have you received from the new Minister of National Education, Mohamed Saad Barada, regarding your inquiries?
Hassan Omrebit: At this point, we are still waiting for a comprehensive response. I believe it is essential for the Minister to recognize the challenges faced by these professors and take prompt action. It’s not just about adjusting schedules; it’s about creating a supportive environment that respects their needs while ensuring our education system functions effectively.
Interviewer: What message do you hope your efforts send to fellow educators and policymakers about the treatment of teachers with health concerns?
Hassan Omrebit: I hope this sends a strong message about the importance of empathy and inclusivity in our education system. Teachers are vital to fostering the next generation, and we must prioritize their well-being to ensure they can contribute to their fullest potential. It’s time we align our policies with our values of justice and respect for all educators.
Interviewer: Thank you for your insights, Hassan. It’s clear that systemic change is needed, and we appreciate your advocacy on behalf of these professors.
Hassan Omrebit: Thank you for having me! It’s crucial that we keep this dialogue going and work together for a more equitable education system.
