The Algerian Ministry of National Education has announced the opening of temporary contracting for physical education and sports teachers. This move aims to fill financial vacancies in various educational institutions across the country. The decision was made due to a lack of qualified candidates residing in the concerned states. The ministry seeks to ensure that these positions are filled and that students receive adequate education.

According to the ministry, a total of 1313 positions are available, with 1107 in primary education, 148 in middle school, and 58 in high school. These positions are distributed across 18 educational directorates. The directorate with the most vacancies is Oran, with 264 positions available, followed by Mascara with 232 positions in primary education.

The temporary contracting process will also cover other states, including Sidi Bel Abbès, Taref, and Ain Temouchent. In Sidi Bel Abbès, 141 positions are available, while Taref has 110 positions and Ain Temouchent has 96 positions. Other states with available positions include Adrar, Blida, Tamanrasset, Algiers West, Saida, Médéa, Oued, Tindouf, Naama, Oulad Djellal, Béni Abbès, and Tougourt.

The Algerian Ministry of National Education has set specific requirements for applicants. Candidates must meet the necessary legal and regulatory conditions, including possessing the required qualifications and certificates. Interested applicants can submit their applications to the relevant educational directorates.

The application period for the temporary contracting positions began on October 5, 2026, and will end on October 15, 2026. Applicants must submit a written request, a copy of the required certificate, a copy of the certificate proving their status regarding national service, and a postal check.
