The National Committee for Primary Education Educators and Educators denounced the security authorities’ dispersal, at the end of last week, of an open sit-in by one of the nannies in front of the Moroccan Foundation for the Advancement of Primary Education, calling on the Ministry to provide an urgent solution to this issue.
In a report, the committee held the Ministry of National Education, Primary Education and Sports, the Moroccan Foundation for the Advancement of Primary Education, and the Ministry of Interior responsible for any harm that might befall the Mutassim nanny, after the security intervention that ended with “the concerned person being transferred to the hospital.”
The committee called on the Ministry of National Education, Primary Education and Sports to open a dialogue regarding the demand file for primary education nannies and educators, which includes returning to work for those who were expelled, improving their wages in a way that preserves their dignity, and ending the mediation of associations.
In response to this issue, the national coordinator of the committee under the banner of the National University of Education, Younis Rizqi, revealed that the development related to the sit-in of the aforementioned nanny comes in the context of “the continued absence of signs of the relevant ministry opening dialogue regarding this file, despite repeated correspondence and invitations.”
Rizqi explained that the security authorities asked the sit-in educator to “end her form of protest, especially after she decided to spend the night in front of the Moroccan Foundation for the Advancement of Primary Education,” noting that “the sit-in was dispersed last Saturday, and then she was transferred to the hospital in view of her health condition.”
The national coordinator of the National Committee for Primary Education Nannies and Educators added that “the condition of this nanny reflects the condition of nannies and educators in the primary education sector,” noting that “the arbitrary expulsion of these people today places them facing an unknown fate, especially in light of the continued absence of dialogue from the guardian ministry.”
The same spokesman stressed that “the officials’ clinging to the narrative of the end of the crisis clashes with the fact that the primary education field falls within the public service,” stressing that “educators and nannies will continue their forms of protest until their demands are met.”

What are the specific demands of primary education nannies in Morocco regarding wages and working conditions?
Today on the show, we’re discussing a concerning situation unfolding in Morocco involving primary education nannies. Joining me is [Guest Name], a representative from the National Committee for Primary Education Educators and Educators.
Welcome to the show.
**Guest:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Can you tell us more about the recent events? There’s been news about a sit-in by a nanny and a subsequent intervention by security forces.
**Guest:** Yes, last week one of our members, a primary education nanny, was holding a peaceful sit-in in front of the Moroccan Foundation for the Advancement of Primary Education. This was a desperate act to draw attention to the dire conditions and lack of support faced by nannies in our country. Sadly, security forces dispersed the sit-in, and the nanny involved had to be hospitalized. This is completely unacceptable.
**Host:** Your committee has placed blame on several entities: the Ministry of National Education, the Moroccan Foundation for the Advancement of Primary Education, and the Ministry of Interior. Why?
**Guest:** We believe they all bear responsibility for the current situation. The Ministry of National Education has ignored our repeated calls for dialog and solutions to the issues faced by nannies. The Moroccan Foundation for the Advancement of Primary Education, despite its name, seems to be neglecting the very people it should be advocating for. And the Ministry of Interior’s heavy-handed intervention against a peaceful protest is deeply concerning.
**Host:** What are some of the key demands from primary education nannies?
**Guest:** We are demanding fair wages, better working conditions, and official recognition of our vital role in early childhood education. Nannies play a critical part in shaping young minds, yet we are often undervalued and overworked. We need the government to step up and address our concerns.
**Host:** What steps will your committee be taking next?
**Guest:** We will continue to advocate for our members and will escalate our efforts if necessary. We call on the Ministry of National Education to engage in constructive dialog and find solutions to the issues we have raised. The wellbeing of our nannies, and ultimately the children they care for, depends on it.
This situation is a developing story and we will continue to follow it closely.
