20-07-16 Nearly 100,000 educators apply for substitute posts
The electronic submission of applications for substitute teaching posts in general education and music schools was completed smoothly on 19 July. For the first time, 92,850 educators submitted by email applications for substitute slots, and 52,451 teachers applied for hourly teaching positions. The procedure helped avoid the bureaucratic delays and long queues for submitting applications in previous years.
Moreover, the educational directorates that received applications in person in the past were freed up for other tasks.
The initiative is yet another initiative of the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs to cut red tape. Other examples were the electronic submission of teachers’ transfer requests and the abolition of the requirement that parents provide copies of birth certificates to register their children at schools.
There were 21,942 applications for literature posts (philologists), 13,450 applications for primary school posts, and 11,123 applications for kindergarten teaching positions.
The application process for special education teachers is still underway, and the deadline for submission is 25 July.
