Egypt's Al-Azhar sector has announced an opening for part-time teachers to fill vacancies in several specializations. The application period began on October 31, 2026, and will last for 10 days. Interested candidates must visit their local Azhar region's headquarters to submit required documents. The announcement was made by the Azhar sector, which oversees Azhar schools.

Cairo's Azhar region has announced a need for 157 part-time teachers to work in specific educational administrations. The application period for Cairo's Azhar region runs from October 31 to November 10, 2026. Candidates must submit their applications in person to the region's employment office. Applications sent by mail or submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

Cairo's Azhar region has specified the specializations and numbers needed: 24 teachers for Arabic and Islamic law, 24 for English, 67 for mathematics, 32 for science, and 10 for social studies. Required qualifications vary by specialization. For example, those applying for Arabic and Islamic law must have a degree from Al-Azhar University's Arabic or Islamic law faculties.

Applicants must prepare several documents, including their academic certificate, proof of military service status, national ID, and birth certificate. A folder containing all required documents and a statement not seeking a government job in the future are also necessary. These requirements must be met to be eligible for consideration.

Several conditions must be met for part-time teaching positions. The contract runs from September 1, 2026, to July 31, 2027. For Arabic, Islamic law, and cultural subjects, a relevant bachelor's degree and teaching diploma are required. A minimum overall grade of "good" is required, although "fair" may be accepted for those applying to work in remote areas.

Applicants' suitability will be determined by their academic ranking, with priority given to those with higher qualifications, such as master's or doctoral degrees. The oldest graduates and those with the highest ages will be considered if there are ties. Only those residing in the announced governorates and educational administrations may apply.
