The Egyptian Ministry of Education has taken a significant step to regularize the status of part-time teachers, also known as "معلمي الحصة" or teachers of the session. In a recent move, the ministry has decided to introduce new contracts for these teachers, providing them with a stable financial situation and social insurance benefits. This decision comes as part of the ministry's efforts to improve the working conditions of teachers and provide them with better financial security.
According to the new contract, part-time teachers will receive a monthly salary and social insurance benefits. The contract, which will be applicable to all part-time teachers across various educational stages, aims to provide a stable financial situation for these teachers. The ministry has emphasized that this move is part of its efforts to appreciate the experience and contributions of part-time teachers and convert their years of service into a stable contractual framework.
The new contract outlines several key terms and conditions. Firstly, the contract will be valid from September 1st to June 30th, covering the entire academic year. Part-time teachers will be entitled to a maximum of 96 teaching sessions per month, with each session valued at 50 Egyptian pounds. This translates to a total monthly remuneration of 4800 Egyptian pounds, inclusive of statutory deductions.
One of the significant benefits of the new contract is the provision of social insurance and protection. The ministry has stated that part-time teachers will be covered under the provisions of Law No. 148 of 2019, which pertains to social insurance and pensions. This means that teachers will be entitled to benefits in cases of work-related injuries during the contract period.
The ministry has instructed educational directorates to expedite the implementation of the new contract and ensure that all part-time teachers are on boarded onto the new contractual framework. This move is expected to bring relief to thousands of part-time teachers who have been working without a stable financial situation or social insurance benefits.
The introduction of the new contract for part-time teachers is seen as a positive step towards addressing the challenges faced by these educators. By providing a stable financial situation and social insurance benefits, the ministry aims to improve the overall well-being of part-time teachers and enhance the quality of education in Egypt.
The new contract is expected to have a significant impact on the lives of part-time teachers and their families. With a stable monthly income and social insurance benefits, teachers will be able to plan for their future and provide for their loved ones. The ministry's decision is a testament to its commitment to improving the working conditions of teachers and promoting the development of the education sector in Egypt.
