Talks between Morocco’s Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, and the National Union of Higher Education have been scheduled for next week, signaling a potential breakthrough after weeks of stalled negotiations. The discussions aim to revive the work of a joint committee addressing demands from the union, which had been suspended by the ministry in early June. A high-level source confirmed the resumption of dialogue, indicating a willingness from both sides to move forward. The initial suspension, enacted under the previous minister, halted progress on key issues raised by the union. The upcoming meeting intends to broaden the scope of discussion and officially end the “freeze” on the committee’s activities. This development offers hope for resolving outstanding concerns within the higher education sector. Further details regarding the agenda and anticipated outcomes are expected following the meeting.
