Directorates of education have announced significant amendments to the schedule for preparatory pedagogical training and pre-training for contract teachers integrated by the 2025 presidential decree. These changes outline specific dates for remedial sessions and merged training periods, aiming to streamline the integration process for educators joining under the 2025 decree. The amendments were specifically announced for the preparatory pedagogical training and pre-training schedule for contract teachers integrated by a presidential decree titled 2025.
The remedial session for preparatory pedagogical training is scheduled to span five days, commencing on Wednesday, September 2, and concluding on Monday, September 7. This particular session is designed to provide a key opportunity for participants who need to catch up on specific training modules.
The merged third session for pre-training is set to run from Saturday, June 20, through Tuesday, July 28. Following this intensive period, the end-of-training exam and thesis discussion for pre-training participants are slated to occur over two days, from Wednesday, July 29, to Thursday, July 30. These adjustments aim to streamline the integration process for the contract teachers, ensuring they meet all necessary requirements efficiently.
Revised Training Sessions Detailed
The third training session for the contract teachers is scheduled to commence on Monday, July 6, and will continue until Tuesday, July 28. This session forms a critical part of the overall pedagogical development for these new educators. Following this period, the end-of-training exam for preparatory pedagogical training participants is slated to take place over two days, from Wednesday, July 29, to Thursday, July 30, marking a significant milestone in their training journey.
A remedial session for pre-training is also scheduled, spanning five days. This session will begin on Wednesday, September 2, and conclude on Monday, September 7. This provision is specifically for those in the pre-training pattern who require additional instruction or missed a single session. Subsequent to the remedial session, the end-of-training exam for preparatory pedagogical training participants will be held from Tuesday, September 8, to Wednesday, September 9. This ensures that all participants have a designated period to complete their final assessments.
The end-of-training exam after the remedial session for preparatory pedagogical training is specifically scheduled from Tuesday, September 8, to Wednesday, September 9. This clarifies the precise timing for the final assessment following any necessary remedial work for this particular training pattern.
Pre-training Pattern Specifics
The 'Pre-training' pattern, designated for secondary school teachers integrated with a bachelor's degree, outlines specific adjustments within the revised schedule. This pattern is distinct and caters to the specific academic background and teaching level of these educators. For this pattern, the revised schedule merges the third and fourth training sessions, optimizing the training timeline for participants.
Participants in the pre-training pattern will observe a holiday period beginning on the morning of Wednesday, July 1, and concluding on the evening of Sunday, July 5. This break is strategically placed to allow for rest before the final push towards completing their training requirements. Following the training and subsequent remedial sessions, exams and discussions for pre-training participants are now scheduled to occur on September 8 and 9. These measures aim to streamline the process for educators joining under the 2025 decree, offering clear timelines for their professional development and integration into the education system.
The second training pattern, explicitly named 'Pre-training', is tailored for secondary school teachers who have been integrated with a bachelor's degree. This distinction notes the specialized nature of their preparation. For participants in the 'Pre-training' pattern, the third and fourth sessions are merged in the revised schedule. This consolidation is an efficiency measure, allowing for a more compressed yet full training experience. The holiday for those in the pre-training pattern is precisely from the morning of Wednesday, July 1, to the evening of Sunday, July 5, providing a clear window for rest. Finally, exams and discussions for pre-training participants are scheduled for September 8 and 9, marking the culmination of their intensive program.
Absence and Remedial Session Rules
Teachers who missed either the first or second training sessions will not be invited to participate in the third session or the scheduled remedial session. Their training will instead be deferred to the subsequent academic year, 2026/2027. This indicates a strict adherence to the established training progression for educators, emphasizing the importance of consistent attendance. Teachers absent from the first and second sessions will not be called for the third or remedial session, and their training will be postponed to the next academic year 2026/2027, showing the policy on missed essential training components.
The remedial session has been designated exclusively for teachers who recorded an absence from only one of the preceding training sessions, whether it was the first, second, or third. This provision aims to offer a specific opportunity for those who missed a single segment of the required instruction to complete their pedagogical training requirements without deferring their entire program to the next academic cycle. The rules specify a clear distinction in eligibility for the remedial phase based on the number of missed sessions, ensuring fairness and adherence to the structured training curriculum. The remedial session is exclusively for teachers who were absent from one of the training sessions (first, second, or third), providing a targeted pathway for those with minimal interruptions to their training.
