**Interview with Ahmed Ben Salah, Spokesperson for the National Education Union in Morocco**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Ahmed. There have been significant developments regarding the status of teachers in Morocco. Can you share what the recent meeting on November 7 was about?
**Ahmed Ben Salah:** Thank you for having me. The meeting held on November 7 was crucial for finalizing the provisions of the new statute for national education employees. We are making strides in resolving long-standing issues related to teacher status and compensation, particularly those dates back to decisions made in 2009 and 2011. It’s about ensuring that our educators receive the recognition and financial stability they deserve.
**Interviewer:** That’s encouraging to hear! What specific changes were discussed that impact teachers directly?
**Ahmed Ben Salah:** One of the key topics was addressing the pending provisions that have yet to be fully implemented. We’re talking about correcting the administrative status of educators to reflect their seniority, which is vital for the upcoming promotions in 2023. Additionally, we agreed to a financial settlement for casual professors, which amounts to 113 million dirhams, ensuring that they are compensated fairly for their contributions.
**Interviewer:** How does this resolution affect the broader educational landscape in Morocco?
**Ahmed Ben Salah:** This resolution is significant, as it not only impacts the morale of teachers but also enhances the overall quality of education in Morocco. When educators feel valued and secure in their positions, they are better equipped to inspire and educate their students. This is a step towards building a stronger education system that benefits everyone.
**Interviewer:** What are the next steps following this meeting?
**Ahmed Ben Salah:** The next steps involve the implementation of the agreed-upon provisions. We are committed to working closely with the Ministry of National Education to ensure timely and effective changes are made. Our aim is to keep stakeholders informed and involved throughout this process.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Ahmed, for your insights. It sounds like a hopeful time for educators in Morocco!
**Ahmed Ben Salah:** Thank you for having me! We are optimistic about the future and remain dedicated to advocating for our educators and, ultimately, our students.
