The Chadian Ministry of National Education is set to introduce a new digital platform, Mirador, to manage the country's education personnel. The platform was announced during a meeting presided over by Minister of State Mahamat Ahmat Alhabo in N'Djamena. The initiative aims to bring order to the management of human resources in the education sector. Mirador will enable the centralization of information on teachers and administrative personnel, track their careers, and better manage personnel numbers.

On October 30, 2026, Minister of State Mahamat Ahmat Al Habo officially handed over biometric professional cards to rectors of provincial and capital academies in N'Djamena. The biometric cards will be essential for the management of education personnel. The minister warned that all administrative acts and individual dossiers will be strictly conditional on possession of the biometric professional card. This move is expected to address the challenges posed by the lack of a reliable, comprehensive, and regularly updated database.

The introduction of Mirador is expected to bring an end to the dispersal of personnel dossiers and difficulties in updating files. The platform will enable the ministry to track agents and manage schools more effectively. The minister has instructed the Human Resources Directorate to make Mirador operational by the end of November 2026. Allocations, mutations, and other administrative operations will then be recorded and archived on the platform.

Another measure announced is the cleaning up of the active agent database. The ministry will remove the names of deceased, retired, absent, or seconded personnel from the database. Their dossiers will, however, be preserved in a separate archive base. This move is part of a broader effort to ensure the effective management of education personnel in Chad.

The implementation of Mirador and the biometric professional cards is a significant step towards modernizing the management of education personnel in Chad. The ministry hopes that the new system will improve transparency and accountability in the education sector. The use of digital technology is expected to streamline administrative processes and reduce bureaucratic hurdles.

The new system will also enable the ministry to make informed decisions about personnel deployment and resource allocation. The minister emphasized the importance of accurate and up-to-date information in managing the education workforce. The introduction of Mirador is a key component of the ministry's efforts to reform the education sector.

The Chadian Ministry of National Education is committed to ensuring the successful implementation of Mirador and the biometric professional cards. The ministry will provide support and training to personnel to ensure a smooth transition to the new system. The introduction of Mirador is expected to have a positive impact on the education sector in Chad.
