On Thursday, February 6, 2025, the authorities of the Ministry of National Education presented, during a press conference, the progress made by the Ministry in implementing the commitments made to the country's teachers' union organizations.

Less than 2 months after the signing of an agreement https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-44109-haiti-education-end-of-teachersstrike.html , Yves Roblin, the Director General of the Ministry announces that significant progress has been made to make available to workers in the education system, the debit card, considered one of the key points of the Ministry's commitments.

In this perspective, Guichard Chéry, the Director of Administrative Affairs of the Ministry stressed that the files of 4,793 teachers have already been processed by the Human Resources Department of the Ministry alongside 580 appointment notices processed for trainee teachers. The files of 700 professors appointed but not budgeted, are being processed, also announcing progress in the process aimed at paying salary arrears.
