Guinean authorities, including the Ministry of Public Service and the National Council for Social Dialogue, held strategic meetings with education unions to discuss the regularization of municipal contract teachers. These discussions aimed to integrate contract workers into the civil service following a protocol agreement signed on January 3, 2026.

However, the situation escalated when contract teachers in the Conakry special zone announced an immediate strike and suspension of classes. The protesters accused union leadership of betrayal and neglect regarding the implementation of the January agreement, specifically concerning classroom practice examinations for civil service integration. Teachers have appealed directly to President Mamadi Doumbouya and Prime Minister Bah Oury for intervention, noting that many have remained in professional uncertainty since 2018.
