Article 11, arriérés d’indemnités, retard scolaire : la colère monte dans les LYNAQE
Meeting on the occasion of the official start of the school year, teachers from the National High Schools for Quality and Equity (LYNAQE) of Kaffrine and Sédhiou held a press briefing to raise awareness of the difficulties they have encountered since the establishment of these establishments.
According to Thérèse Ngoné Sarr, Ms. Soum, a history and geography teacher at LYNAQE in Kaffrine and assistant to the coordinator of the LYNAQE teachers' collective, this media outing aims to "draw the authorities' attention to a situation that has become untenable."
The teachers first denounced the actual absence of pupils and learners at the start of the school year, a situation which they consider "worrying".
"Upon our arrival, we noted the actual absence of students and learners, a situation which risks seriously affecting the normal course of teaching, compromising compliance with the school calendar and, ultimately, harming academic performance," they said.
For them, the LYNAQE, designed to embody rigor and excellence, "cannot achieve their objectives in a context of delay and uncertainty."
Teachers also welcomed the publication of the decree establishing the LYNAQE, while expressing their strong reservations regarding Article 11, which prohibits teachers from exercising their right to strike.
"We deeply deplore Article 11 of this same decree, which prohibits LYNAQE teachers from exercising their right to strike. Such a provision constitutes a serious violation of the trade union freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of Senegal and by international conventions ratified by our country," they insisted.
The collective therefore calls for "the deletion or revision of this article, in order to restore full respect for the fundamental rights of teachers."
Another point of contention: the non-payment of compensation owed to teachers for more than eleven months.
"This injustice significantly weakens the motivation of the teaching staff and compromises the effective implementation of the missions entrusted to the LYNAQE," deplored Ms. Soum on behalf of the collective.
Teachers are calling on the authorities of the Ministry of National Education to take responsibility for putting an end to these failings.
"We are launching a solemn appeal to the ministry authorities to ensure a healthy, dignified and equitable working environment," they said, before reiterating that they "remain committed to the mission of quality and equity on which the LYNAQE is based."
Finally, the collective specifies that no strike or blockade action has been undertaken since the start of the school year.
"We simply limited ourselves to making the observation and sharing it so that public opinion is informed of the reality on the ground. We sincerely hope that the authorities will react quickly to avoid an even more worrying situation," conclude the teachers of the LYNAQE of Kaffrine and Sédhiou.

Diomaye 11 milliards de fonds politiques...
Vous voulez que les gens se sacrifient alors que ceux qui ont cette situation de blocage à cause de leur incompétence, eux augmentent leurs caisses noires qu'ils avaient promis de supprimer.
Est-ce que ça va dans votre tête ?
"Charité bien ordonnée commence par soi même ".
Qu'est-ce que Diomaye et Sonko ont fait comme sacrifice pour encourager les gens au sacrifice ?
Un mouton restera toujours un mouton...
Parfois on se demande même si c’est la priorité de ce gouvernement. Et dire que le LYNAQE devait commencer ses cours dès aujourd'hui, ce qui n’est pas le cas à cause de certaines raison ''bidons''
Cela fait vraiment peine à voir
