The Egyptian Ministry of Education has sent a letter to all educational directorates across the country, regarding the regulation of part-time teachers' status and signing seasonal contracts. This decision aims to ensure the stability of the education system and guarantee the regularity of studies. The move is also an appreciation for the efforts of part-time teachers in covering the shortage of teachers in various subjects.

According to the letter, the Ministry has decided to start immediately implementing the procedures to regulate the status of part-time teachers and sign seasonal contracts. The contract will be applied to all part-time teachers across different age groups. The new contract will replace previous ones and will be used to adjust the financial situation of part-time teachers and pay their dues regularly.

The contract includes several key points, such as a monthly salary of 50 Egyptian pounds per class, with a maximum of 96 classes per month. This translates to a total monthly remuneration of 4800 Egyptian pounds, including legal deductions. The contract will be in effect from September 1st to June 30th, covering the academic year.

The Ministry's decision is part of its efforts to provide a stable and professional environment for part-time teachers. By signing seasonal contracts, the Ministry aims to provide a regular income for these teachers and acknowledge their contributions to the education system. This move is expected to have a positive impact on the overall quality of education in Egypt.

The new contract also includes provisions for social insurance and protection. According to the contract, part-time teachers will be entitled to the benefits of the Social Insurance and Pension Law No. 148 of 2019 in cases of work-related injuries during the contract period.

The Ministry has urged all educational directorates to start implementing the new contract immediately. This will enable part-time teachers to receive their dues regularly and improve their financial situation. The decision is expected to benefit thousands of part-time teachers across Egypt.

The decision to regulate the status of part-time teachers has been welcomed by many, including the Egyptian Teachers' Syndicate. The syndicate has praised the Ministry's efforts to provide a stable and professional environment for part-time teachers. The move is seen as a positive step towards improving the overall quality of education in Egypt.
