Education: Committee to expound mark-scale for teacher candidates vying for enrollment

Numerous teachers have complained about the baffling practices of certain headmasters and headmistresses of several educational facilities saying that the latter don’t involve them at all in the preparation for the new school year.

In a reaction, the SNAPAP autonomous trade Union called for the setting up of a broad-based committee at the level of all schools entrusted with fixing a mark-scale for the candidates all taken together in order to ward off complaints and expostulations.

The Secretary General of the autonomous teachers’ council for secondary and technical schools, MessaoudBoudina, told Echorouk that a large number of teachers had complained about the “unilateral decisions” taken by school headmasters.

He asserted that a host of teachers had beenpushed to the sidelines with regard to the various preparations for the new academic year stressing that these hapless teachers were being left in the lurch in their own schools.

He also brought out the imperious necessity for the national education ministerial department to take urgent remedial measures so as to shed all the light on the conditions set for the recruitment of new teachers for the 3 schooling cycles.

MrMessaoudBoudinafurther argued that the most appropriate solution was the setting up of a monitoring committee charged with clearly defining the mark-scale in order to allow all the teacher candidates sitting for the relevant exam to take cognizance of their marks in all transparency and equity.
