المكلفون بالتشكيلات المدرسية والإشرافية يسدّون عجز المعلمين في المدارس

The Ministry of Education emphasized the need to address educational shortages within the sector in case of a lack of teachers for the new academic year through those assigned to school and supervisory formations.

It clarified in the guide for planning educational job holders in education administrations that the shortage is filled starting from the Learning Resources Coordinator, then the Gifted Teacher, followed by the Activity Supervisor, then the Student Counselor, then the School Vice Principal, then the School Principal, and finally the Educational Supervisor from the departments and sections, with the importance of considering specialization and qualifications in the intermediate and secondary stages after fulfilling the teaching load of specialized teachers of 5 to 8 class periods according to their specialization, in addition to the supervisory tasks assigned to them.

The ministry confirmed in the regulations and procedures for human resources in education administrations that educational needs should be met and a balance maintained between educational job holders in different educational stages and types of education in accordance with their qualifications and specializations by transferring them for the educational interest. In case of a shortage in programs for individuals with disabilities, the educational need will be filled by teachers from other specializations for individuals with disabilities; if not available, then from general education teachers who have not completed their teaching loads. As for teachers of individuals with disabilities who have not completed their loads in classes for individuals with disabilities, they will be assigned a load in general education according to their ranks within the school.

The ministry indicated the benefit of utilizing the surplus of teachers while considering the specializations of the surplus by transferring them to teach subjects in the new plans (Critical Thinking, Life Skills, Activities, etc.) according to the annex in all stages, prioritizing the closest first. In case of equality, the benefit will be according to preference and the completion of assignment or transfer procedures based on preference for educational job holders in the approved electronic system. The reassignment of those whose assignments have ended from school and supervisory formations, as well as those returning from all types of dropout, will be directed to schools according to the educational need and balancing the teaching loads of teachers in the same sector. It was noted that if a teacher delays or refuses to carry out the assignment or transfer, another teacher will be temporarily assigned to ensure that the academic curriculum is not delayed or disrupted during a school day, and the procedures related to the teacher refusing the assignment or transfer will be completed, applying the regulatory procedures.

It clarified that the Behavioral Training Teacher, the Learning Difficulties Teacher, and the Speech Therapy Teacher are assigned to teach in the primary stage according to their rank, and schools for adult education will be staffed with educational personnel according to the approved curricula, while benefiting from the application of the mechanisms of the General Administration for Electronic Education Channels and Distance Learning to meet educational needs and increase the level of specialization.
