23 MARCH: SUPPORT THE PROFS STRIKE

Posted on 20/03/200812/01/2021 By 3arabawy

It’s confirmed. The university professors are going on a national strike Sunday 23 March, despite attempts by the regime’s Ministry of Education to abort the move.

The Strike Coordination Committee is calling on all university professors to join in, and organize protests in front of the buildings that host the govt administrations on the campuses, at 1pm.

I hope to see strong mobilization by student groups, from all tendencies, on the campuses in solidarity with their profs.

Comrades around the world, the strikers need your solidarity… If you are affiliated with any teachers’ unions, community association, student unions, try to get your union to issue a statement in solidarity with the strikers.. I’m very short of time, so if any Arabic reader can translate the profs’ demands into English and post them in the comments’ section that would be very much appreciated.

The demands are:

· عودة وضع شيوخ الأساتذة فوق السبعين عاماً إلى ما قبل القانون رقم 82 لسنة 2000، وإلغاء هذا القانون.
· زيادة فورية في الأجر الأساسي بحيث يتضاعف الراتب الفعلي الإجمالي لأعضاء هيئة التدريس ومعاونيهم بنسبة 100%، وذلك كخطوة أولى نحو تحقيق جدول المرتبات المقترح من المؤتمر الرابع.
· زيادة الدعم الحكومي للجامعات العامة القائمة وإنشاء جامعات حكومية جديدة لتقليل الكثافة الطلابية ومن أجل الارتقاء بمستوى التعليم والبحث العلمي.
· إنشاء صندوق تكميلي لمعاشات هيئة التدريس.

Updates on the doctors protests

Posted on 18/03/200810/02/2021 By 3arabawy

Sarah Carr reports:

Doctors staging a seven-day sit-in at the Doctors’ Syndicate suspended their protest for one day yesterday, during the Syndicate’s annual awards ceremony in celebration of Doctors’ Day.
According to organizers Doctors Without Rights — a lobby group which presses for better pay and conditions for doctors — pressure from security bodies persuaded them against holding the sit-in Tuesday.
“The decision to suspend the sit-in was made after the group [Doctors Without Rights] learnt that it could be subjected to harassment by security bodies because ministry [of health] officials will be attending the ceremony,” a message sent to members of Doctors Without Rights read. “The group chose to suspend the sit-in in order not to subject doctors to security harassment,” it continued.
The decision to temporarily suspend the sit-in was made late last night after talks with state security personnel, who have been a constant presence there.

You can find more photos of the 3rd day of the sit-in (17 March) here.
