The Algerian Ministry of National Education announced on Monday the opening of temporary contracting for physical education and sports teachers in three educational stages across some provinces. This decision comes due to vacant financial positions in physical education and sports in these provinces, resulting from a lack of resident candidates. The goal is to fill these vacancies for the 2026-2027 academic year.
According to the ministry's statement, the temporary contracting is non-integrable and follows the provisions of a joint ministerial instruction. This instruction, numbered 05 and dated July 24, 2025, outlines the procedures for hiring teachers on a temporary contract basis in public education institutions under the Ministry of National Education.
The ministry invites all eligible candidates, regardless of their place of residence, to submit their applications to the relevant education directorates. Candidates must meet the legal and regulatory requirements, including possessing the required qualifications and certificates. The application period is from October 5, 2026, to October 15, 2026.
To apply, candidates must submit a handwritten request, a copy of the required certificate, a copy of the certificate proving their status regarding national service, and a cancelled postal cheque. The ministry specified that 1313 vacant positions are available across various provinces, including Adrar, Blida, Tlemcen, Algiers-West, Saida, Sidi Bel Abbès, Médéa, Mascara, Oran, El Taref, El Oued, Tindouf, Naama, Ain Temouchent, Oulad Djellal, Béni Abbès, and Touqourt.
The decision to open temporary contracting aims to ensure the continuity of education for students. The ministry emphasized that candidates should check the list of vacant positions specific to each education directorate. This initiative is part of the ministry's efforts to address teacher shortages in certain subjects and regions.
Algeria's education sector has faced challenges in recent years, including teacher shortages and logistical issues. The temporary contracting of physical education teachers is a short-term solution to address these challenges. The ministry's move is expected to provide relief to schools struggling with a lack of qualified teachers in this subject.
The Algerian government has been working to improve the education system, focusing on teacher training and recruitment. The temporary contracting of physical education teachers is part of these broader efforts to enhance education quality and accessibility. Candidates interested in these temporary positions must act quickly to meet the application deadline.
