Haiti - Politic : Prime Minister pays vibrant tribute to teachers 18/05/2025 09:17:23
During his speech, the Head of Government paid a glowing tribute to teachers, whom he described as "keepers of knowledge and architects of our future." He also appealed to Haitian youth, inviting them to actively engage in building a more united, just, and secure country. "Haiti needs its youth, its energy, its ideas, and its courage. We stand with you to build a stable and hopeful future together," declared the Prime Minister, reaffirming his Government's commitment to supporting all development actors, particularly young people and women. Symbolic financial support was presented to the UPNCH, along with the announcement of a major investment of 3 billion gourdes in the Far North. In recognition of his commitment to education, youth, and development, the UPNCH Dean's Office awarded the Prime Minister a Certificate of Honor and Merit. The visit continued with a guided tour of the university's facilities, during which the Prime Minister and his delegation interacted directly with academic leaders to assess needs on the ground. Furthermore, on Saturday, May 17, 2025, Dieuseul Prédélus, the new Rector of the State University of Haiti, was inaugurated. (UEH), at the Henri Christophe de Limonade Campus (CHCL), addressed professors and the general public on the occasion of National Teachers' Day. Speech by the Rector of UEH : "[...] On this May 17, 2025, Teachers' Day, the State University of Haiti invites society in general, and political stakeholders and decision-makers in particular, to pull together and take all necessary steps to ensure that the right of professors to a decent life, continuing education, and professional development is recognized. For you are the builders of the future, the artisans of knowledge, and your daily work contributes to training enlightened and responsible citizens. Thanks to your expertise, patience, and perseverance, our university continues to shine and achieve its goals of academic excellence. Dear fellow citizens, the right to education and compulsory public instruction is not guaranteed if teachers, considered a crucial link in all forms of knowledge transmission and the linchpin of any educational system, are not taken into account. Dear fellow teachers, the UEH is well aware that the future of our citizens is in your hands. Your role is not limited to the transmission of knowledge, but also includes supporting and training future generations, in a spirit of ethics, integrity, and solidarity. As for the UEH, it is at your disposal and wishes to be a stakeholder in all measures likely to guarantee the right to education for all, and to ensure that quality education and compulsory public instruction once again become a reality in Haiti. Dear UEH teachers, this year again we are celebrating Teachers' Day in a difficult context for the UEH in particular, and for the country in general. This is evidenced by the fact that the premises of our faculties in the West are being vandalized by armed groups. Worse still, some facilities, such as the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy and the Faculty of Science, have been looted; others, such as the Faculty of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine and the École Normale Supérieure, have been set on fire. Added to this are the low salaries and insufficient funds for research and other academic activities. Dear UEH professors, despite the limited financial resources available to UEH, the current Executive Council is committed to doing everything possible to give special consideration to professors working at UEH. It is in this sense that a program will be implemented during the term of the Executive Council, the main objective of which is the continuing education and development of our professors, the increase in the number of research laboratories, as well as any other academic action likely to improve higher education at UEH. In this regard, there is already a Master's program in University Teaching housed at the École Normale Supérieure and here at CHCL. We intend to strengthen it and open it up, especially to professors working in provincial cities, including you at the Henri Christophe de Limonade Campus. A career plan designed to better address the status and progression needs of our professors is also under consideration by the Vice-Rectorate for Academic Affairs. Efforts will be made to streamline the loan process at the Banque Nationale de Crédit (BNC), and you will no longer need to go to Port-au-Prince to obtain a loan. On this special day, I invite you to take a moment to recharge your batteries and appreciate the richness of your mission. Rest assured that your work will not go unnoticed, and that the entire university community supports and honors you. Finally, allow me to thank each of you for your continued commitment. Our university could not thrive without your passion and dedication. May this Teachers' Day be a source of renewed motivation and well-deserved recognition for you. I wish you all a wonderful day. Long live the Henri Christophe de Limonade Campus; Long live the State University of Haiti; Long live Haiti. Thank you. » Furthermore, as part of National Teachers' Day, Fritz Alphonse Jean, the President pro tempore of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), took part the day before in the official ceremony held on the occasion of Haiti's National Teachers' Day at the Karibe Hotel in Pétion-ville. He paid tribute to the courage, resilience, and professionalism of the educators who, despite the many difficulties facing the country, continue to spread knowledge and educate future generations with passion and commitment. On this highly symbolic day, the President of the Council expressed his gratitude to the teachers from the country's ten departments, who gathered on this occasion to celebrate their essential mission. He paid a heartfelt tribute to these dedicated women and men, pillars of national development, and reiterated the CPT's commitment to supporting all initiatives aimed at improving the working conditions of teachers, strengthening the national education system, and guaranteeing every Haitian child a quality education.
