Sissili/SYNATEB: The life of the communal sub-sections at the center of the exchanges

The Sissili provincial section of the National Union of Basic Education Workers (SYNATEB) held on April 14 and 15, 2023 in Léo, its eighth ordinary union council, under the chairmanship of the Regional Coordinator of Centre- West, Koffi Jean Frederic Ramdé.

The eighth edition of the ordinary union council of the Sissili provincial section of the National Union of Basic Education Workers (SYNATEB) was held in Léo on April 14 and 15, 2023 in Léo.

The meeting took place under the theme: “In a context of generalized crisis of the Burkinabe colonial state characterized by growing insecurity, high cost of living, questioning of individual and collective freedoms: What prospects for SYNATEB with a view to its contribution to the struggle of our people for a quality education accessible to all for their true emancipation”.

For two days, the councilors examined the annual reports of the various sub-sections and reflected on the theme and proceeded to the renewal of the provincial office.

The Provincial Secretary General, Bouma Alfred Nebié, called on his comrades for solidarity and more determination for more resilience despite the security situation in the province.

“We believe workers must join forces to overthrow the capitalist system and build a more just and equal society,” he said.

From the results of the activities of the past year, there is a financial deficit at the level of all the sub-sections due to the weak financial mobilization and the security situation in the province.

Councilors discussed ways to improve communication between the different sub-sections and to harmonize practices and policies.

The regional coordinator of SYNATEB of the Center-West, Koffi Jean Frédéric Ramdé, invited the basic structures and the militants, to prioritize the themes and the membership cards to allow all the offices to function.

“The stamp constitutes the annual contribution of the militant which allows each level to be able to carry out its activities if each militant fulfills it”, suggested Mr. Ramdé.

The Provincial Secretary General of SYNATEB hosted on April 15, 2023, a public conference on the theme of the ordinary union council.

In his presentation, he noted the various crises that have plagued our country from independence to the present day and their impact on the people and especially on education.

The meeting ended with the renewal of the provincial office where Bouma Alfred Nebié passed the baton to Abdoul Matinou Diasso, formerly Deputy Secretary General of the provincial section.

With nine members, the new office will now have the difficult task of working closely with the sub-sections to strengthen the union’s presence on the ground and defend the rights of workers in the province.
