Abstract: This paper focuses on human resources management in the education sector in Côte d’Ivoire, particularly within the context of recurring tensions that impact the quality of the system. The study adopts a qualitative approach conducted in the Regional Directorate of National Education and Literacy of Abidjan 4, involving thirty educational stakeholders (teachers, school principals, administrative officials, union members, and supervisors). The results reveal a management style perceived as impersonal, centralized, and detached from the human realities on the ground, leading to frustration, demotivation, and decreased performance. Participants express a pressing need for recognition, attentive listening from educational authorities, and active participation in decision-making processes. The study recommends a restructuring of educational human resources governance around principles of ethics, dialogue, and decentralization to foster a fairer and more effective school environment.
