The National Autonomous Council of High School Directors (CNADL) reaffirms its commitment to dialogue and consultation as the preferred way to respond to the concerns of directors and pleads for a responsible and balanced partnership between the Ministry of National Education and staff representatives, in the best interest of Algerian schools. He believes that expectations not yet met can be met through continued dialogue and collective effort. This was stated in a press release from the CNADL.
This declaration comes as the Ministry of National Education launched a new series of bilateral meetings with approved trade union organizations in the sector. These meetings, placed under the supervision of Minister Mohamed Seghir Saâdaoui, are part of an ongoing consultation process aimed at strengthening trust and deepening dialogue around the concerns of education personnel. They are held every Monday and Thursday at the ministry’s headquarters and concern all representative unions, including the CNADL. For the ministry, this initiative is part of the desire to continue social dialogue and build a concerted reform of the education system.
Meeting in Algiers, the national office of the CNADL examined in detail the social and administrative situation of directors, emphasizing the importance of preserving a climate of trust, recognition and stability within the education sector. The union also expressed the concerns of its members regarding a professional situation considered difficult and certain slowness in the implementation of commitments previously made by the ministry. The union calls for a peaceful and constructive dialogue, based on consultation and mutual respect, to meet the legitimate expectations of high school directors.
The same text evokes the complex context in which high school directors operate, often faced with administrative difficulties, increasing workloads and a lack of resources. The union believes that better promotion of the strategic role of these executives is essential to the success of the education system. While reaffirming its availability for dialogue. The CNADL hopes that meetings with the ministry will result in concrete and equitable solutions, making it possible to improve the management and recognition of the profession of director.
The national office called for greater transparency in the management of transfer movements, particularly between provinces, in order to ensure equal opportunities and clarity of procedures. The union notes that the lack of publication of certain vacant positions and the lack of information on transfer criteria have given rise to a feeling of injustice among directors.
It also calls for the reactivation of the reserve lists for promotion to the grade of high school administration inspector, which have remained frozen for two years, as well as the opening of the corresponding budgetary positions.
According to the CNADL, these measures would help to motivate management staff and consolidate their commitment to serving the establishments. While welcoming the modernization efforts undertaken by the ministry, in particular through the digitization of management, the union recalls the importance of strict compliance with legal procedures in making administrative decisions: transfers, sanctions or transfers of students.
The CNADL also highlights the need for a clear regulatory framework for digital tools, in order to guarantee uniform application of texts and to ensure greater transparency in the management of educational establishments.
On the statutory level, the union reaffirms its wish to see its proposals integrated into the amended version of the special status and the compensation system currently in preparation. The union is calling in particular for the classification of directors at the highest level of the salary scale, the creation of two distinct grades in order to better reflect the diversity of missions and responsibilities, as well as the allocation of specific bonuses in recognition of the workload and complexity of their functions.
