Université Gaston Berger : les étudiants décrètent 48 heures de “journée sans ticket”
At Gaston Berger University, tensions are rising between students and administrative authorities. The Saint-Louis Student Coordination (CESL) announced, in a press release published on March 11, 2026 in Saint-Louis, the launch of 48 hours of "ticket-free days," which cannot be renewed, to protest against several demands that, according to them, have remained unanswered.
A mobilization to defend students' rights
In its official statement, the CESL explains that this decision aims to draw the authorities' attention to several major concerns related to the living and studying conditions of university students.
Among their main demands, student representatives are calling for the full payment of back payments owed to eligible recipients. According to the student coordinating body, these delays directly impact the financial situation of many students receiving these allowances.
Students are also demanding that current provisions regarding student grants be maintained until a collaborative review of Decree No. 2014-963, which governs this system, can be undertaken. The CESL believes that any reform cannot be considered without prior consultation with key stakeholders in the academic community.
The situation of Master 2 students is at the heart of concerns
Another point of contention is the reintegration of Master 2 students on a year of special study. The coordinating body is asking the authorities to respect the commitments already made on this issue, which affects several students who risk having their academic progress jeopardized.
A call for dialogue
Despite this decision to mobilize, the CESL affirms that it remains open to dialogue. In its statement, the coordinating body reiterates its commitment and willingness to defend student interests while calling on the authorities to provide swift responses to the concerns raised.
The statement is signed by the session chairman, Amadou Ba, who insists on the students' determination to continue their actions if no solution is found.
This announcement comes at a time when issues related to scholarships and the social conditions of students continue to fuel debates within Senegalese universities.
