Education ministry gives go ahead for the recruitment of foreign languages teachers

The education ministry instructed the Human Resources department to recruit exceptionally people holding BAs in foreign languages like French, English and Arabic.

•  

• The education ministry has decided to make an exception to the law for those holding Bas in foreign languages with the move to offset the shortage of teachers.

•  

• The move was vehemently denounced by the temporary teachers whose national committee held a meeting to discuss the decision before resuming their movement of strike as of today.

•  

• They have demanded the integration of all the teachers that spent years teaching and refused to be excluded from the recruitment.
