Chad: Serious Crisis Between SET and the Ministry of Education
The crisis opposing teachers of the Syndicate of Teachers of Chad (SET) to the Ministry of National Education is intensifying. The minister, Mr. Alhabo Mahamat Ahmat, finds himself at the center of a standoff that highlights the profound dysfunctions of the education system and the government’s inability to respond to the legitimate demands of teachers.In the face of this situation, parents remain surprisingly silent, even though improving teachers’ working conditions and granting a respectable salary increase — which should reach at least 500,000 F CFA — are essential. Teachers and doctors represent the core of a country’s development, yet the regime turns a blind eye to their situation and allows the thieves of the Republic to spread their wings. Not a month goes by without hearing that someone has embezzled billions: open‑air robbers. Where are we?
The teachers’ demands are simple
Every school year, ministers of education adopt the same posture: threats, intimidation, arrests, and arbitrary convictions of SET leaders. Since the allowances are budgeted, the Minister of Finance cannot claim he lacks money. The discourse of the Minister of Education remains unchanged: “Do not go on strike, we will engage in dialogue.” An eternal dialogue of the deaf, without any concrete progress.
The consequences of this reckless management are severe: classes halted, the school year disrupted, and a decline in students’ academic level. The country pays a heavy price for decisions that jeopardize the future of an entire generation.
The solutions are obvious: pay the teachers, respect their rights, and allow Taher Nguilin to release the necessary funds. To obtain results, teachers now consider involving parents’ associations, which until now seem indifferent to recurring strikes. Their silence is seen as irresponsibility, since their children’s future is directly at stake. It is time for them to confront Alhabo Mahamat Ahmat, who is preparing to send GMIP forces with tear gas. According to the editorial team, he will fall from his position after such a confrontation. Poor him.
Yet the problem is simple to solve.
Kaka to the rescue! Not the minister, of course.
