Nouakchott –A number of doctors cooperating with higher education institutions in Mauritania escalated their protests, after they burned their graduate degrees, as an expression of their rejection of what they described as “ignoring” their demands and not recognizing their academic qualifications, after a month of sit-in in front of the headquarters of the Prime Ministry.
The protesters are calling on the Mauritanian authorities to reconsider the recruitment policy within the higher education sector, calling for raising the number of positions allocated to university professors to 400, in order to meet the shortage experienced by universities and institutes, in light of the continuous increase in the number of students and the decline in the pace of employment in recent years.
The doctors also expressed their rejection of the quota allocated to them within the government program to recruit 3,000 employees, considering that the number of announced positions, set at 120 university professors, represents only about 4% of the total subscriptions, even though the number of cooperating doctors is approximately 800 doctors.
The protesters stressed that this number does not respond to the needs of higher education institutions, and does not reflect the size of the available academic competencies, demanding the launch of a broader recruitment process that includes all cooperating doctors, in a way that contributes to filling the recorded shortage in university frameworks and improving the quality of higher education in the country.
This escalatory step comes after weeks of vigils and sit-ins organized by doctors to demand the opening of a serious dialogue with the concerned authorities, and to respond to their demands related to professional integration and improving their job conditions.
