Education Directorates Race to Finalize 7 Key Tasks Before Academic Year End

Education directorates are working to finalize procedures for the end of the 2025/2026 academic year, with seven main tasks requiring implementation. These efforts show the urgency with which educational authorities are approaching the conclusion of the academic year. The push comes as teachers across the three educational levels prepare to conclude the current academic year. These directorates are operating under a tight deadline to ensure all necessary administrative and academic processes are completed before the official end of the school year. The full set of seven main tasks must be implemented to successfully conclude the academic year, reflecting a multi-faceted approach to managing the transition.

Primary School Procedures

Primary schools are scheduled to organize an open half-day on June 29 for the distribution of student report cards and achievement assessment booklets, marking the conclusion of the primary education period. This event will allow parents and students to receive documentation detailing academic progress and celebrate the end of the academic term. Following this, lists of students accepted into the first year of primary school are slated for announcement on June 30. This process is a key step in preparing for the upcoming academic year, ensuring a smooth transition for new primary students. The directorates are focused on completing these tasks promptly to align with the academic calendar and facilitate the progression of students.

Administrative Promotion Exams

The largest professional exam for administrative staff promotion to 32 ranks is scheduled for July 11. Over 8,000 financial positions have been allocated for this administrative promotion exam. These positions will be distributed among 32 administrative ranks, including five ranks that involve an automatic transfer of financial positions. This significant number of positions notes the scale of the administrative restructuring and career advancement opportunities. Results of the administrative promotion exam are slated for announcement before the start of the next academic year 2026/2027, providing clarity for successful candidates. Meanwhile, departure reports for teachers are scheduled to be signed on July 9. Administrators will sign their departure reports on July 16, completing another key administrative task before the academic year concludes. These staggered dates ensure an orderly winding down of the administrative year for both teaching and administrative personnel.

Teacher Recruitment and Baccalaureate

Results for the national recruitment competition for teaching positions may be announced soon. The Ministry of National Education continues to review candidate files for the national external recruitment competition for teachers, also known as the 'first division', which was organized based on certificates in 2025. This process involves examining applications for various teaching roles to ensure qualified individuals are selected. An exceptional permit was recently secured from the General Directorate of Civil Service and Administrative Reform, granting additional time to finalize the extensive teacher recruitment file review. This extension shows the thoroughness of the selection process. Concurrently, national correction centers are preparing to commence the correction of Baccalaureate exam answer sheets, a critical stage in the assessment of graduating students. The lists of successful Baccalaureate exam candidates are scheduled for announcement by July at the latest, marking a critical step for graduating students as they plan their future academic and professional paths.

Remedial and Council Meetings

Middle and high schools are scheduled to commence remedial exams on Monday, June 22, continuing for two days. These exams are intended for students who did not achieve an average of 10 out of 20, specifically those with averages ranging between 9.00 and 9.55. This provision offers students a key opportunity to improve their academic standing and meet promotion criteria. Additionally, a teachers' council meeting is slated for June 24. This meeting will likely involve discussions on student progress, year-end evaluations, and planning for the upcoming academic year, ensuring a full review of the educational landscape.
