The Senegalese government has finalized payments of salaries to contract teachers nationwide, fulfilling a key political commitment made by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye. This decision aims to stabilize the social climate and ensure the smooth running of the school calendar, particularly as the country approaches the crucial 2026 national exams (CFEE). The Ministry of National Education confirmed the implementation of the salary payments, responding to long-standing demands from educators and unions. Authorities emphasize this resolution was achieved through coordinated efforts between the Ministries of Finance and Education, regional governors, and educational inspectorates. The move is intended to create a more peaceful learning environment and guarantee fair evaluations across the country. The government views resolving this issue as vital for maintaining the continuity of public education services.
