Sadaoui préside une conférence dédiée aux préparatifs du 3e Trim et à l’intégration des enseignants contractuels
Summary of the National Conference on Education in Algeria
On Thursday, the Algerian Minister of National Education, Mohammed Seghir Sadaoui, conducted a national conference via videoconference to outline essential orientations for the preparation of the third academic quarter. This initiative is part of fulfilling President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s decision to permanently integrate 82,410 contractual teachers into vacant budgeted positions.
Initiatives for the Third Quarter
At the conference’s outset, Minister Sadaoui emphasized the importance of taking all necessary measures to ensure the effective management of the upcoming third quarter. He urged the completion of all operations related to the second quarter, particularly addressing issues caused by a boycott of note submission by some teachers affiliated with the National Autonomous Council of Education Personnel (CNAPESTE). This boycott was branded as a failure to meet professional commitments linked directly to student learning. Sadaoui stressed the necessity of adhering to legal procedures in such circumstances, calling upon all education directors to unify their actions across regions.
Collaboration with CNAPESTE
The Minister reiterated the ministry’s dedication to engaging in dialogue with social partners to address socioprofessional issues. He mentioned receiving CNAPESTE representatives earlier that day, during which he reiterated the ministry’s firm stance on enforcing legal obligations. This dialogue aims to ensure that all educators fulfill their professional responsibilities.
Integration of Contractual Teachers
Reflecting on President Tebboune’s decision to integrate the contractual teachers, Sadaoui expressed gratitude on behalf of the education community, especially for those directly affected by this strategic move. Although the primary hiring norm in Algeria’s education sector is to recruit directly from graduate schools, the inclusion of these teachers is justified due to their ongoing training and the pedagogical experience they’ve garnered during their contract periods.
Sadaoui highlighted that the decision to integrate contractual teachers stems from the ministry’s unique recruitment method via contractual agreements and a digital platform. As a gesture of acknowledgment and commitment to the teaching profession and its role in shaping future generations, the President has approved plans to provide stable posts for these teachers by March 23, 2025.
Implementation Procedures
On the procedural side, Minister Sadaoui revealed that the executive decree governing this integration is complete and will be followed by a joint ministerial note detailing the necessary procedural steps. He underscored the importance of adhering to ministry notes and circulatory measures throughout the integration process to ensure uniformity in execution across Algeria’s provinces. This includes aligning procedures and timelines to ensure a successful implementation of the integration operation.
In summary, the conference addressed pivotal topics regarding the upcoming academic quarter and the significant integration of contractual teachers into the stable workforce. The ministry’s approach reflects a balanced strategy aimed at enhancing educational quality while ensuring the professional stability of educators across Algeria.
