Retards de paiement et inégalités salariales : Après les étudiants, les enseignants haussent le ton

While Senegalese public universities are shaken by tensions marked by clashes between students and law enforcement to demand the payment of scholarships, teachers are also joining the protest.

Faced with payment delays and wage inequalities, they announce a tougher tone and multiply their calls for urgent measures.

In a press release, the National Directorate of the Unified Union Framework of Secondary School Teachers (CUSEMS) is raising its voice. Meeting in its third ordinary session, the union conducted a thorough examination of the socio-professional situation of secondary school teachers and denounces serious dysfunctions.

Indeed, CUSEMS expresses its "deep concern" regarding the persistent delays in the payment of allowances related to school exams. It calls upon the government and demands a "full, prompt, and definitive" settlement of these rights, which teachers consider to be legitimately acquired.

The union also reaffirmed its demand for the correction of the compensation system, which it described as "inconsistent" and "unfair." It called for urgent structural reform to restore pay equity and enhance the teaching profession.

CUSEMS also reminds the State of Senegal of its commitments regarding the salary "rebasing" announced several months ago and demands its effective implementation as soon as possible.

Among its other demands are the expansion of the scope of application of two decrees currently undergoing administrative processing, the reform of the pension scheme for decision-makers, the acceleration of the dematerialization of administrative procedures, and the correction of "over-taxations" and omissions found in the processing of salaries.

The union also calls for an urgent reorganization of the BFEM (Brevet de fin d'études moyennes) in order to improve transparency and efficiency in the organization of examinations as well as the start of universal diploma training.

Firm in its tone, CUSEMS warns that it does not rule out resorting to union action. "Patience is not resignation," the union members warn, asserting that their determination "is commensurate with the injustice."

The National Directorate finally calls on teachers to remain "mobilized, in solidarity and united".

    ça c'est du cinéma ! ces voyous d'enseignants nullards, incultes et analphabètes ont tout exigé de Macky et obtenu plus que tous les autres corps. Pourtant ces ingrats ont voté massivement pour PASTEF et ont fait voter leurs pupilles . Alors qu'ils ferment leurs sales gueules

    Il faut que Sonko exige la fin du khamate pour les enseignants et qu'ils soient payé par heure donc plus de salaire pendant 3 mois à se les gratter

    Les enseignants sont des vendus. Je ne peux pas comprendre comment un enseignant intellectuel peut devenir un mouton comme Azoura. Comment un enseignant peut-il faire allégeance à un politicien menteur manipulateur et inculte comme Sonko ?

    Ngour gui meu guiss yorou niou khaliss bouniou diokhei. Dangueine fii nara grève rek. Pour quils payent les salaire rek cest tout une gymnastique. Et si les 400 milliards attendus a l'issue du APE en cours ne sont pas obtenus, vous serez exposés a un défaut de salaire. La posture sage a adopter serait de surseoir la réclamation des indemnités et se concentrer sur la disponibilité des salaires.
