SAES Triumphs in Securing Pension Reversion for Senegalese Educators

SAES wins a pivotal victory with the Senegalese government’s decree granting pension reversion and including research allowances in pensions for deceased lecturers. This victory concludes years of struggle and negotiations for better retirement conditions.

The Autonomous Union of Higher Education (SAES) has secured a significant victory in improving the retirement conditions for university lecturers and researchers in Senegal. On March 7, 2025, the Senegalese government signed a decree that provides pension reversion to beneficiaries and includes the research allowance in pension calculations, thereby benefiting the families of deceased educators.

In summary, SAES’s achievements in securing pension reversion and integrating the research allowance into pension calculations are monumental for the families of deceased lecturers and researchers. While this signifies substantial progress, SAES remains focused on ongoing issues such as infrastructure development and enhanced research funding in higher education.
