The group of temporary doctors from universities, institutes and grandes écoles in Mali organized a rally on Tuesday 28 February in front of the administrative city of Bamako and sent a letter to the president of the transition, Colonel Assimi Goïta, to denounce “corruption” and the “nepotism” in recruitment processes.
” The fraud that currently exists in recruitment is unheard of “says a Malian teacher-researcher. The collective of temporary doctors from universities, institutes and Grandes Ecoles in mali deplores the opacity of the recruitment process and denounces irregularities and cases of favouritism.
Several researchers, members of this collective or not, teaching in universities in the capital or in Ségou, confide anonymously, because some claim to have received threats from their hierarchy, others are simply afraid of expressing too critical a word in the current political context.
“ They favor relatives.
” They made a call for applications for the recruitment of assistant professors, we were more than twenty candidates. But when announcing the results, they said that only one person had applied, and that was the person who was admitted. “explains one of them. Several candidates contacted by RFI ensure that their files have been discarded, erased. ” It’s like they never existed “, explains a teacher-researcher. “ They favor relatives of deans or rectors “says another.
Faced with this situation, the group demands the cancellation of the recruitments validated last October by the transitional authorities, the organization of a new recruitment session ” worthy of the name and the pure and simple resignation of the Minister of Higher Education, Amadou Keita, who refused to receive the collective. Asked by RFI, the ministry did not respond.
