The second day of the ordinary session under 2020 of the National Consultation and Negotiation Commission Government/Central and Confederations took place, mardi 22 September 2020 at the Cotonou Infosec.

But at the end, nothing to eat.

The Director General of Labor (dgt) speaking presented the grievances and the level of satisfaction, sector by sector. We denote thirty 37 points of grievance of the education sector in general, is 14 points for primary, 11  for secondary school and 13 for the superior. The issue of teacher shortages in both the primary and secondary sectors was also raised.. It appears that the state had to resort to recruiting aspiring teachers at both primary and secondary levels.. It should be noted that the State is committed to continuing the aspiranate during this school year 2020-2021.

What about the suspension of training?

For the Minister of Secondary Education, technical and vocational training, there is no training plan in secondary education. Thus any teacher recruited within this ministry in a given body and in a given category unfortunately ends up in this body and in this category. It is to correct this insufficiency that the ministry is preparing to develop the organic framework which constitutes the first obligatory step before the development of the training plan.. Thus, teachers recruited in a given category will be able to register in the plan and undertake additional training to change body and category..

Regarding the employment contracts of contract workers 2014 and of 2016

On the other hand, with regard to the employment contracts of contract workers 2014 and of 2016, the minister admitted that he had encountered a few difficulties. To believe it, the agents had signed a contract format that the government questioned and released another contract format that teachers must sign. As soon as the recovery, the ministry will tackle this.

otherwise, the representative of the Minister of Economy and Finance, in the person of the Deputy Director of Cabinet explained that the government, upon his arrival in 2016, noted arrears due to category shifts. This slate of around seventy billion is being paid off as state resources allow.. In sum, it must be said that nothing concrete came out of this second meeting of discussions and that another meeting was made for the act 3.
