SAES achieved a significant victory, with the Senegalese government signing a decree on March 7, 2025, to grant pension reversion and integrate research allowances into pension calculations, benefiting families of deceased university lecturers and researchers.
The Autonomous Union of Higher Education (SAES) has secured an important victory regarding pension reversion and research allowances for university lecturers and researchers in Senegal. On March 7, 2025, the Senegalese government signed a decree that grants pension reversion to beneficiaries and incorporates the research allowance into pension calculations, providing essential support to families of the deceased.
The SAES’s recent victory over pension reversion exemplifies the power of collective bargaining. It not only addresses historical injustices faced by families of deceased lecturers but also enhances the financial stability of these families through improved pension calculations. Moving forward, SAES continues to advocate for further improvements in academic infrastructure and funding.
