At the start of each school year, a number of new teachers are appointed to different places of work in different regions all over Morocco. Normally, the procedure of appointment abides by several criteria. One of the latter is that compared to male teachers, female teachers must stand more chances of being appointed to their preferred areas of work. Frankly, I support this criterion provided that it is respected to the letter and without exceptions. What I can not understand, however, is that some female teachers are appointed to remote places of work. And when we delve into the reasons behind this sort of appointment, we are told that the female teachers appointed to remote areas did not get as good a grade as the ones appointed in the vicinity of their homes. On the other hand, the male teachers who rank first and who are appointed in remote areas complain about the good appointments of the female teachers with an average grade. The male teachers who outshine female ones are given more remote areas, while the latter are given near places. What I am aiming at is that as long as female teachers are prioritized irrespective of the grade criterion, they must all be appointed to good working places. How would we account for the fact that some male teachers with a high grade and female teachers with an average grade being appointed to the same remote area? If there were a difference of sex as some say, why are female teachers treated equally with male teachers in this case? Why are female teachers treated unequally among themselves, especially that the excuse we give to male teachers is that female ones must not be appointed too far? If they must not be appointed far, how can we explain the fact that many of them work in very far places? If the grade they get is the reason you are going to provide me with, how do you explain that female teachers must not be appointed too far from their homes irrespective of the grade they get? By the way, I still vividly remember the flimsy and silly excuse a female teacher gave me about her resorting to nepotism to change her original place of work, Zagora to Inzegan. She said to me that unlike we male teachers, she must be appointed so near by reason of the hard conditions girls alone suffer from. In response, I said that I wished all girls had been treated in the same manner. " What about all other female teachers in remote areas? Aren't they girls too?" I asked myself. Now, I feel as though I were in front of a labyrinth, not knowing where to point my finger.
