Teacher of precariousness: anxiety, uncertainty and syndicate engagement

This article presents the results of exploratory research aimed to understand how precariousness has affected recently the teaching profession in Morocco. To answer this question, I conducted comprehensive biographical interviews with 05 teachers at the primary level and 05secondary levels working under contract in a rural region in the rural area of Zagora. I met them separately and they expressed their point of view. The verbatim was content analyzed following two analytical registers. The first register is grounded in a descriptive and restitutive reason; based on reporting the views of teachers according to three categories: the working conditions, Security and professional stability, and the relation to union. This first register revealed the decline of career advancement, social appreciation, and employment conditions. While the second register is more conceptualizing, which led me to take a cross-cutting look at the results of the first register by offering a new perspective on the teachers’ point of view, shedding light on conventions and tacit agreements which form the intellectual basis of the points of view of the participants towards the different themes.
