Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeiba has announced the resumption of educational activities in the country, effective the following day. This decision was made after a meeting with the General Libyan Teachers' Union, emphasizing the priority of students' right to education and the need to ensure stability in the educational process. Dbeiba stressed that the government's primary goal is to provide suitable conditions for the continuation of education.
The resumption of educational activities is part of a shared responsibility to ensure the regularity of the educational process. Dbeiba highlighted the importance of providing suitable conditions for the continuation of education and not hindering students' right to education. The government has made education a top priority, and the regularity of the educational process is a fundamental part of its responsibility towards students and education sector workers.
In the area of employee salaries, Dbeiba confirmed that work has begun to achieve justice in wages, within a vision aimed at enhancing social justice and improving the conditions of state employees. He explained that addressing salary issues is part of a trend to improve the level of social protection for employees, achieving a greater degree of justice in the distribution of salaries and entitlements.
As a step towards unifying the wage system, Dbeiba approved a unified salary scale for all sectors and administrative units funded by the Public Treasury, including the cancellation of all previous decisions and regulations that adopted special salary scales, including distinction allowances and related financial benefits. This decision is part of the government's trend towards unifying salaries and addressing disparities between employees in state institutions.
Dbeiba praised the role of unions in defending the rights of their members, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and coordination between the government and unions to address files related to employees and ensure the continuation of public facilities. The meeting with the General Libyan Teachers' Union took place amidst demands related to improving teachers' conditions and salaries, coinciding with calls to ensure the continuation of the educational process.
The announcement of the resumption of educational activities in Libya came after a period of tension between government parties and the General Libyan Teachers' Union, due to demands related to improving teachers' financial conditions and addressing the salary file to achieve greater justice among public sector employees. The file of teachers' salaries has been one of the most prominent files in the educational scene during previous years.
The success of this process depends on the ability of concerned parties to turn promises related to salary justice into practical procedures, in addition to the continuation of dialogue between the government and unions to address professional and financial demands of education sector employees. The education sector is one of the largest service sectors in Libya, given the wide base of employees and its direct connection to millions of students in various cities and regions.
