A French language teacher, H.A., passed away on Sunday at the Hassan II University Hospital in Fez, succumbing to serious injuries sustained in a violent assault by one of her students. The attack took place on March 27. The student, a 21-year-old enrolled at a vocational training institute in Erfoud, in the Errachidia Province, was arrested the same day. The tragic death has sparked an outpouring of reactions from educational unions and human rights organizations across Morocco. In a strongly worded statement, the Moroccan Democratic Human Rights Organization condemned what it described as «a criminal act that is inexcusable and unjustifiable», saying it «not only constitutes a flagrant violation of the right to life, but also reflects a shocking collapse in human and religious values, and a moral failure of the state». Teachers unions and NGOs voice anger The organization also denounced the ongoing wave of violence targeting educators, which it said undermines the dignity of teaching staff and the reputation of public education. It called for a full and serious investigation into the incident and urged that the harshest possible punishment be imposed on the perpetrator. The statement further held successive governments responsible for what it described as the normalization of school violence, calling for a broad national dialogue on the issue. It also urged the media to engage in raising awareness, rather than «hiring pens to scapegoat educators for the failures of the education system, distorting their noble mission and tarnishing their professional and moral standing». In response to the tragedy, the Regional Office of the National Union of Education – Democratic Orientation announced a series of protest actions, including sit-ins during school breaks on Monday, April 14, and Tuesday, April 15, 2025. A regional strike is also planned for Wednesday, April 16, in protest against the school violence that claimed the life of a French language teacher in Erfoud. The union criticized the lack of effective measures to confront what it called «a growing epidemic of violence eroding public education», and accused the state of lacking the political will to restore respect for educators. Meanwhile, the Local Offices of the National Vocational Training branch of the Moroccan Labor Union in the Drâa-Tafilalet region expressed their full rejection of all forms of violence, marginalization, and restrictions affecting employees in the vocational training sector. They called for protest sit-ins at training institutions on Monday, with a collective recitation of Al-Fatiha in memory of the late professor.
