Sefrou – April 24, 2025 – Following the uproar caused by a certain trade union organization within the Sefrou Directorate, which launched a widespread campaign against the principal of the 20 August school complex, the Regional Office of the Educational Administrators’ Union in Sefrou held an emergency meeting to study the details of the matter through direct communication with the principal of the institution concerned. After examining all aspects of the issue, the Regional Office issued a statement to enlighten the educational public opinion on the details of what it described as the “case.”
According to the statement received by [Name of News Platform], the matter pertains to an incident dating back to Tuesday, April 22nd, during which the institution was in the process of organizing an educational activity in partnership with an external association. During this activity, a student suffered a school accident, which necessitated the principal accompanying him to visit the doctor. While at the doctor’s, the principal received a phone call from a person who introduced himself as an employee of the Directorate and a member of a specific trade union office, inquiring from the principal in a “mocking” manner: “Do you have nuclear weapons there to close the school gate?”
The principal interrupted the caller, reminding him that the educational institution is subject to internal regulations, and inquired about the reason for his visit. The caller responded that they had come to post a leaflet related to May Day and to communicate with the teachers. The principal asked him to provide the leaflet to one of the teachers for posting, apologizing for the impossibility of entry at that time due to the teachers’ involvement in and supervision of the educational activity, and suggested arranging the visit at a later time. However, the caller responded in an “inappropriate manner,” which prompted the principal to hang up due to his preoccupation with the injured student.
Upon the principal’s return to the institution, he attempted to communicate directly with the visiting delegation to ascertain the reason for this “obstinacy,” but their response confirmed that they had come for “other purposes than those publicly stated.” Despite the intervention of other union members from the institution’s teachers to resolve the issue, they concluded that the visit was part of a “premeditated operation targeting the principal personally for being a voice of truth within the Educational Administrators’ Union regionally and locally, and to settle narrow accounts dating back to a previous period.”
Subsequently, the Regional Director received the principal of the 20 August school to understand the context of the incident, assuring him that she would investigate the case in a manner that guarantees the rights of all parties.
Consequently, the Regional Office of the Educational Administrators’ Union in Sefrou announced:
- Its principled and unconditional solidarity with the principal of the 20 August school complex against the “systematic campaign” targeting him.
- Its high appreciation for the meeting held by the Regional Director with the principal, during which she listened to his account of the case in order to ascertain the truth of the matter.
- Its condemnation of the attempt by some parties to “exploit noble union work to settle their accounts with the principal due to his union positions and opinions.”
- Its commendation of the administrative approach taken by the principal in handling this case from its beginning.
- Its full respect for all union bodies and factions in the region and its willingness to cooperate with them in service of educational affairs.
- Its praise for the joint communication approach adopted with various regional union offices to resolve the problems of male and female teachers without discrimination based on their categories.
- Its denunciation of the communication approach adopted by the union in question, which it described as “far from the organized union norms for this process, which initially necessitate prior communication with the school principal and the provision of a union notice board for posting their leaflets within the institution.”
- Its final confirmation of its “firm determination to defend its members against any aggression that may affect them from any party whatsoever, in full respect of all legal texts regulating administrative and educational work.”
The statement concluded with the slogan: “Long live the Educational Administrators’ Union, a national, democratic, and independent union.”
