Libya's Internal Security Device announced that it has reached an agreement with some teachers' leaders and education supervisors to resume the educational process. The agreement was made after a meeting on Saturday to discuss the reasons for the delay in starting the educational process and the challenges that prevented it from starting. The Internal Security Device stated that it had summoned some teachers' leaders and education supervisors to discuss the difficulties that hindered the start of the educational process.

The meeting discussed the challenges related to the educational process and ended with an agreement to instruct the officials present to open the schools under their supervision and resume study. The Internal Security Device stated that resuming the educational process will contribute to maintaining general stability and preserving the future of students. The Device also expressed its appreciation for the teachers and officials who put the students' interests above all else.

The Internal Security Device confirmed that it will continue to monitor those who are proven to have violated the laws and regulations and damaged national security and students' interests. The Device emphasized its support for any national work that serves the country. Meanwhile, the General Teachers' Syndicate rejected the security summons, stating that they would not solve the crisis of the teachers' sit-in.

The General Teachers' Syndicate stated that addressing the crisis requires responding to legitimate demands and implementing pledges, not summons and pressures. The Syndicate emphasized that the decision-maker is the teacher. The teachers' sit-in has been ongoing since September 13, 2026, to demand a salary increase that guarantees a decent life for teachers.

The teachers are demanding the implementation of a unified schedule, payment of financial differences due to them, payment of financial dues to contract teachers who have been delayed for years, and comprehensive health insurance. Some educational supervisors announced that they would resume study, while teachers responded by gathering for a protest in front of their headquarters.

The Internal Security Device's announcement comes after some educational supervisors announced that they would resume study. The Device's statement did not specify the details of the agreement or the parties involved. The agreement aims to resume the educational process and maintain general stability in the country.

The crisis of the teachers' sit-in has been ongoing for several weeks, with teachers demanding better working conditions and financial benefits. The General Teachers' Syndicate has been negotiating with the government to address the teachers' demands. The Internal Security Device's intervention aims to resolve the crisis and ensure the resumption of the educational process.
