The Minister of National Education, Preschool and Sports, Chakib Benmoussa, brought good news to those involved in previous strikes. After issuing his directives to cancel deductions from the salaries of employees, especially teaching staff who stopped working en masse, in order to complete clearing the air and establish a healthy and stable social climate that helps achieve the comprehensive mobilization of all educational and administrative staff and social partners in the reform dynamic.
In this context, the Secretary General of the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports, Younes Sahmi, wrote to the Director of Employee Expenses at the General Treasury of the Kingdom, regarding the cancellation of deductions from employees’ salaries due to mass work stoppages.

The correspondence, a copy of which was received by Agadir 24, included a number of directives from Minister Benmoussa, “in order to consolidate the positive atmosphere established by the outcomes of the sectoral social dialogue embodied in the agreements of December 10 and 26, 2023, which culminated in the adoption of the basic system for employees of the Ministry of National Education and was crowned by a comprehensive mobilization of women and men in education that allowed the 2024/2023 school year to end in very positive conditions.”

Through this measure, the Ministry seeks to “strengthen the level of trust with the various actors in the educational system as well as with the social partners of this Ministry within the framework of the outstretched hand approach adopted by the Ministry as a basic option in addressing the issues of the education and training family throughout the course of the sectoral social dialogue.”

Benmoussa asked the Director of Employee Expenses at the Kingdom’s General Treasury to “give his instructions to the relevant departments under his supervision, in order to work on cancelling all deductions from employee salaries recorded in the information system that have not been implemented yet, and which are related to collective absences from work.”

The document confirmed that the interests of the Directorate of Human Resources and Staff Training of the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports will remain at the disposal of the interests of the Directorate of Personnel Expenses, in order to provide it with the complete lists of employees concerned with the aforementioned deductions, as well as periods of absence from work.

UN report shows dramatic increase in killed civilians

It is the highest proportion of conflict-related killings of civilians recorded since the 2030 agenda on the UN’s sustainable development goals was adopted.

In the whole of last year, 33,400 conflict-related killings of civilians were registered, according to the UN report published on Wednesday evening.

Seven out of ten are said to have been killed in Palestine and Israel, but the figures also include armed conflicts in Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Congo, Ethiopia, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and Yemen.

Of those killed, 31 percent are children and 36 percent are women, which is also a dramatic increase from 2022.

In addition, a quarter of the world’s population still lives in conflict areas, and many governments face major challenges in protecting the right to a life free from fear and violence, writes the UN in a press release.

– Far too many people around the world experience daily insecurity, injustice and violence. Behind these gloomy statistics lie strong human stories of lost dreams and potential, suffering and despair, says head Achim Steiner of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).

Worrying increase

The report is a progress report on sustainability goal number 16: Peace, justice and inclusive institutions.

The report is 93 pages long and has been produced by UNDP, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in collaboration with six other entities.

The report shows that several worrying trends are taking place worldwide.

– This new report shows that we must take active steps now to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies, without anyone being left out, says UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed.

Increase in murder and violence

Murders of journalists, human rights defenders and trade union leaders doubled from 2022 to 2023. More journalists were also killed in conflict-prone countries in 2023 compared to the previous year. 65 percent of journalists and media workers killed last year were killed in connection with the ongoing Gaza war that broke out on 7 October.

The total number of female homicide victims in 2022 was 88,000, the highest annual number recorded in 20 years. Almost half of these were killed by their partners or family members.

The report also shows that nearly eight out of ten children under the age of 14 are exposed to violent discipline at home, and that more than a third of human trafficking victims are children.

Violent crime is also increasing, and organized crime poses a major threat to peace and development.

Still problems with equality

Discrimination and lack of equality is also a widespread problem globally.

Women are significantly underrepresented in public service positions in low-income countries, and one in six people experience discrimination.
