The Algerian Ministry of National Education announced on October 5, 2026, the opening of temporary recruitment for physical education and sports (EPS) teachers in certain educational districts. This move aims to fill vacant positions in EPS across three educational cycles. According to the ministry, the decision was made due to a lack of candidates residing in the concerned wilayas.
The recruitment process is based on a temporary contract that is not susceptible to integration into the national education system. This approach follows the instructions of the joint ministerial decree N05 of July 24, 2025, which outlines the modalities for recruiting contractual teachers in public education establishments under the Ministry of National Education. A total of 1313 vacant positions are available across 18 educational districts.
Interested candidates, regardless of their place of residence, are invited to submit their applications to the concerned educational district services between October 5 and 15, 2026. To be eligible, candidates must meet the legal and regulatory requirements in force, including holding the required qualifications and diplomas. They must provide a handwritten application, a copy of the required diploma, a document justifying their situation regarding national service, and a crossed postal check.
The concerned educational districts with vacant positions include Adrar, Blida, Tamanrasset, Alger-Ouest, Saïda, Sidi Bel Abbès, Médéa, Mascara, Oran, El Tarf, El Oued, Tindouf, Naâma, Aïn Témouchent, Ouled Djellal, Béni Abbès, Touggourt, and El Meniaa. The ministry emphasizes that this temporary recruitment aims to ensure the schooling of students for the 2026-2027 academic year.
The Ministry of National Education seeks to address the shortage of EPS teachers in specific regions. This temporary recruitment is a stopgap measure to ensure that students in these areas receive the necessary education. Candidates who meet the requirements are encouraged to apply for these positions.
The recruitment process is managed by the concerned educational districts, which have been allocated vacant positions. Applicants must submit their dossiers to the relevant district services within the specified timeframe. The ministry's decision to open temporary recruitment reflects its commitment to providing quality education across the country.
This initiative by the Ministry of National Education demonstrates its efforts to address educational gaps and ensure that all students have access to qualified teachers. The temporary recruitment of EPS teachers is a strategic move to support the educational system in regions facing shortages.
