Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation Abdellatif Merawi confirmed on Tuesday at a session of the House of Councillors that the government has fully responded to the demands of medical and pharmacy students, and removed all their concerns related to study and training.
Responding to oral questions about the strikes carried out by students of these faculties, the minister explained that 14 meetings were held with representatives of the boycotting students until last February, providing clear answers to their queries and proposing practical solutions to the obstacles identified.
The government, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, submitted its proposals on June 25, 2024, including flexible solutions to the students’ demands, such as adjusting the length of training to obtain a doctor of medicine diploma, resolving thesis issues, developing training in medical specialization in the third cycle and improving the status of resident doctors, Mr. Meraoui highlighted.
Despite the efforts made, the minister noted that the students rejected the proposed solutions, stressing that there is mediation from parliamentary teams working to convince the students to return to study, while emphasizing that exams will be held next week.
The minister stressed that the government has pledged to fulfill a number of demands, provided that exams are passed and the normal functioning of colleges is restored, disciplinary penalties are amended, zero points are compensated for absentees, and hospitalization trainings are programmed to catch up with the interruptions in the next academic season.
The minister emphasized that reducing the years of study to six years is not only aimed at saving money, but also at enhancing the quality of education and contributing to the development of the national health system in line with the needs of the medical profession.
