Benin: Trade Unions React to New Status of Teacher Aspirants

The integration of Teacher Aspirants (AME) into the public service is positively received by trade unions UNSTB and COSI-Bénin, who are asking for clarifications on the implementation modalities. UNSTB views this measure as a step forward for teachers and their working conditions, while COSI-Bénin calls for a swift implementation and a clear timeline. These reactions come after several years of relying on AME to address the teacher shortage in public schools.
