The security authorities in Casablanca prevented the contracting professors yesterday from marching towards the Royal Palace on the path of Mediouna, as it lowered its weight to stop it and change its path towards the economic center of the capital.
The local website "Hespress" reported that the security authorities worked to change the course of the protest march, despite the negotiations led by members of the "National Coordination of Teachers who were forced to contract" with the local authorities to pass through the "Madiouna Street".
Some of the contracting professors tried to breach the security barrier, but the authorities intervened to prevent this, causing some of them to be of varying severity and fainting, and then they were transferred to the hospitals of the region to receive the aid.
The contracting professors, who came from various sides to the economic capital, made harsh criticism of the government of Saad al-Din al-Othmani, through the slogans they chanted, describing them as "the governed government", and demanded the dropping of the contracting system.
"This national march comes as a download for the outcomes of the recently held National Council in Rabat, which included a national strike for a period of 4 days with a national march centered in Casablanca," said Rabie al-Karaie, a member of the National Coordination of Contracted Teachers in the Casablanca side.
"This march comes as a result of the ministry's failure to respond to the demands of the professors who were forced to contract, foremost among which is integration into the civil service and the enactment of one basic system for all the education family," Al-Karaie added, in a statement to the online newspaper, Hespress.
In his statement, Al-Kara’i added that the Ministry of National Education "has neither the intention of resolving the file nor the intention to reform the national education system, and the best evidence for that is the insult to which professors are exposed," considering that "the educational system is heading to the abyss."
The contracted professors reject the "statute of the academic staff and all procedures related to it," and demand "an immediate response to the demand file, which includes a transitional national movement for all, without restriction or condition, as it is the right of the educational worker."
