Higher Education: “The Great Escape”, the Great Drain

It may not be a hemorrhage, but that is what suggests a note signed by Abdellatif Miraoui, Minister of Higher Education, himself, at the end of last week in a circular addressed to the acting Inspector General of Higher Education, to the Director of the National Center for Scientific and Technical Research (CNRST), to the Director General of the National Office for University, Social and Cultural Works (ONOUSC), and to the Acting Director General of National Assessment Agency. Abdellatif Miraoui implicitly expresses in that circular his surprise about the number of requests for early retirement and resignations from research professors, administrative executives, and teaching technicians in various services and university institutions.
