Key points
- The memorandum outlines twelve priority demands, including university autonomy, regular subventions, and salary arrears.
- The union is calling for the immediate resumption of the suspended '5,000 Masters / 1,000 PhD' training program.
- Demands also cover the official integration of biometrized contract and homologous teachers into the civil service.
- The union requests the implementation of a January 2024 decree providing publication and risk-related allowances.
Why it matters
