Education: Three weeks are lost in vain, the threshold is inevitable in the BAC exam

CNAPEST teachers decided, during the plenary session, on Tuesday, to continue their open-ended strike, because the ministry did not provide something new, according to them, but only settled an administrative mistake by the DOE.

Same sources which reported the news, added that the final sections’ pupils who will sit for the baccalaureate exam, prepare the demand for the threshold, arguing that they had dropped out of school for three full weeks due to the open-ended strike that was launched by teachers since last February, 16, and thus The Ministry of National Education is obligated to determine lessons of the baccalaureate exam, considering that the “threshold” is an acquired right and they will not renounce it, whatever the circumstances.

“Pupils of the various levels boycotted the second semester’s exams, especially in Secondary schools, like Berrahal, Idrisi, Bourouba, Isyakhem in Cheraga and Said Hamdine (Algiers), and refused to sit for the exams on topics that are not prepared by their teachers, on the grounds that the striking educational institutions brought topics of non-striking educational institutions, and there are other institutions that resorted to “archive” for the use of old themes.”

On the other hand, the same sources revealed that the striking teachers insisted in their reports, through holding the general assembly on retaining the option of continuing the open strike, which began last February, arguing that the responses of the Education Ministry, during the last meeting, which was held with the CNAPEST National Office is just precedent “answers” which do not bring something new, and therefore it did not bring tangible things, considering that the retroactive financial impact, which was realized by the ministry, is not a “gain” to the raised demand raised, but is a correction of an administrative error that was committed by some school directorates, and thus instead to be punished by the ministry, the strikers it settled their situation by resorting to the public treasury to pay financial compensation to the non beneficiaries and with a retroactive impact from January,1, 2012, while the reality is that 11 Wilayas have benefited from the financial retroactive impact last April.
