Education Minister, Nouria Benghabrit, says she met with syndicates representatives and agreed with them on solving some problems of economists who are Serling since weeks, adding that she is against the idea of strikes and agrees with dialogue and negotiations to solve the sector’s problems.
Benghabrit revealed, on the sidelines of her visit on Tuesday to Blida, where she appointed the new education director, that she received representatives of the syndicate of General Independent Union of Algerian Workers and National Council of Secondary and Technical Education Teachers, and other representatives, in order to study and search ways to solve the strike of economists.
“I am studying various cases and reached solution of some problems, but issues that are related to the pedagogical grant. I wonder about the secret in opening and raising the problem today. I will study the file to find a final solution”.
“Problem of threshold is solved definitively during last June session. In the future we should reconsider the BAC graduation to insure more credibility of this level. It is not good to encourage protests and strikes about the threshold”.
“Education sector is suffering a deficit in framing due to the large number of files of retirees and those who ask for anticipated retirement. Overcrowding crisis is getting better as proven by national figures”.
