Ministry of Education: Issuance of electronic transfer decisions for teachers and administrative staff according to schools' needs
The Ministry of Education officially announced the issuance of electronic transfer decisions for teaching and administrative staff working in schools, in accordance with the actual needs of schools and available vacancies, and in compliance with the controls and standards adopted by the relevant sectors.
The Ministry clarified that employees from both the teaching and administrative bodies whose transfer requests were approved will receive a notification via the notifications service in the “Sahel” government app. The message reads: “We inform you of the acceptance of your transfer request, in accordance with the controls and standards adopted by the Ministry. Accordingly, please visit the Ministry of Education’s website (Administrative Services – My Data – Transfer Data) to view your new work location, or log in to the Ministry’s app (My Decisions) to view the transfer decision in PDF format in the coming days.”
The Ministry emphasized that the new transfer mechanism relies on meeting the actual needs of each school, aligning with the preferences of teachers and administrative staff, and ensuring a fair distribution of teaching and administrative personnel based on available vacancies. This approach limits human intervention in transfer procedures, thereby enhancing transparency and fairness in administrative decision-making. It further stressed its commitment to balancing the needs of the educational field with the wishes of teaching and administrative staff, contributing to the stability of the educational process.
The Ministry added that the total number of electronic transfer requests submitted by teaching and administrative staff working in schools reached 16,182 requests. Of these, 6,117 electronic transfer decisions were implemented, representing approximately 37.8% of the total requests. This included 5,142 teachers out of 13,968 requests, with an implementation rate of 36.8%, and 975 administrative staff members out of 2,214 requests, with an implementation rate of 44%.
The Ministry explained that the implementation of transfer decisions was carried out in accordance with the announced conditions and controls, based on the actual needs of each school and available vacancies. Requests were prioritized by seniority in appointment date, with priority given to older employees in cases of equality, and then to those with higher competency evaluations if equality persisted.
The Ministry clarified that the transfer decisions issued in this phase included teachers and administrative staff working in schools. Decisions for supervisory positions will be issued subsequently, covering school principals, assistant principals, heads of subject departments, technical supervisors, educational advisors, and chief educational advisors. These will be issued after completing the necessary procedures and considering the needs and requirements of the educational field, in line with the adopted controls and standards.
The Ministry announced the opening of a three-day window for submitting electronic appeals against transfer results via its official website, from Sunday, the 6th, to Tuesday, the 8th of the current month. This applies to teaching and administrative staff who previously submitted transfer requests. The system allows applicants to monitor the status of their appeals electronically, eliminating the need for paper submissions or personal visits.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to promoting transparency and equal opportunity, allowing applicants to state the reasons for appealing transfer results, which will be reviewed by the competent authorities in accordance with the adopted controls, standards, and the needs of the educational field.
The Ministry urged all concerned parties to continuously follow its official channels and website to stay updated on any developments or regulatory decisions related to transfers or matters concerning the teaching and administrative bodies.
