Tomorrow, Wednesday, the bill for the new system of appointment in education will be submitted to the Council of Ministers, and a day later, on Thursday, it is expected to be forwarded to the Parliament. However, before it is formally submitted to the legislature, it will be preceded by a discussion in the relevant parliamentary committee.
Based on the scenario that has been formed, the next few days are considered decisive for the outcome of the proposal of the political head of Education, Costas Kadis - the tenth minister who is trying to change the recruitment process in public schools. It is indicative of the fact that the first time the Council of Ministers studied and approved a plan for the modernization of the list of undecided was 26 years ago: In 1989, the then Minister, Andreas Filippou, managed to pass the Ministerial proposal for his change. systemic. The whole effort, however, remained there. Only in 1992, during the ministry of Christoforos Christofidis, an amending bill reached the Parliament, which, however, was never passed. Mr. Kadis, therefore, may not be the first minister to ask the 56 deputies to abolish the list, but holds a different primacy. Never before had the consent, even of a teachers' union, been secured to change the system. In this case, the minister has already agreed with OELMEK and OLTEK and only POED still maintains a negative attitude. It is also the first time that the Government has committed to provide a few hundred organic posts. Another "first" is the number of unappointed teachers and professors waiting on the list (more than 45.000).
The content of the new proposed regulation will be put under the microscope of today's meeting of the Education Committee. The issue was registered by the chairman of the committee, Georgios Tasou, with the aim of informing the members-deputies. The meeting was attended by the minister, representatives of the three educational organizations, the organized parents of Primary and Secondary Education, as well as the student movement. Meanwhile, the reactions are varied in anticipation of the developments. In an announcement, DIKO refers to its own proposal for modernization of the system. It envisages that the appointments continue to be made based on the existing list, until 2019, while until 2022, the recruitments will be made with a quota of 60% with the existing system and 40% with the new one. The proposal also includes seven special provisions relating to the appointment of temporary, contract and replacement members during the transitional period. Among other things: Those teachers who have been appointed either as part-time, or under contract, or as substitutes and have a total educational service of 30 months and will not be permanent until 2022, will continue to be appointed as part-time and will be preceded in part-time appointments. In its own announcement, DIKI calls on the ministry to accept the proposals it proposes and at the same time, denounces the Change and the New Movement that voted without hesitation on the previous proposal of the ministry.They ask for recognition of previous service in the KIE
The association, which represents the undecided teachers employed in the KIE, expresses dissatisfaction with the fact that the new system does not provide for the recognition of their previous service. . "For the ministry, it is as if these people have never been involved in the education sector, while on the contrary, any teacher who worked during a school year in a public school, perhaps teaching a high school class, is scored and is in a more advantageous position than them. "Influenced teachers explain that," in the Institutes we teach the material provided by the curricula of the ministry, we use the books provided by the ministry, we are evaluated and regularly checked by both The directors of KIE and the ministry itself, we are obliged to conduct competitions for our students, to supervise exams and to correct in writing "etc. It is noted that according to the bill, the educational service is scored up to 30% (two and a half points for each school year, with a maximum number of years of service, twelve years). At the same time, it defines as educational pre-service the "pre-service in public or recognized private schools, secondary or primary education of the Republic or abroad" and includes "previous service in any other schools, schools, institutions or services, as defined by regulations".Source: FILELEFTHEROS
