Algeria Authorizes Second Recruitment Round for Education Staff After Posts Went Unfilled
ALGIERS — The Directorate General of the Public Service and Administrative Reform has approved an exceptional authorization allowing a second round of recruitment competitions in the education sector this year, at the request of the Ministry of National Education. The decision follows a first round that failed to fill all the budgeted posts because too few candidates passed.
The new competition covers three ranks: education supervisor, specialized educator in educational support, and principal laboratory attaché. These are the support and supervisory staff who keep schools running alongside classroom teachers, from monitoring pupils to managing science laboratories.
The authorization is tightly framed. The competition may only fill the budgeted posts that remain vacant once the final results of the first round are published, and the number of places for each rank cannot exceed the total originally opened. The announcement gives no figure for the posts concerned.
According to the decision, the education directorates of several wilayas, or provinces, reported urgent staffing needs. The ministry is therefore seeking to complete its workforce quickly rather than wait for the next recruitment cycle.
Candidates will be selected on the basis of their qualifications rather than a written examination, in line with the first round. Applications will be submitted electronically through a digital platform that has yet to be created. Its launch date and the application deadline have not been announced.
The public service directorate oversees recruitment across state administrations and must authorize any competition that departs from the annual plan, which is why an exceptional approval was needed. Education is the largest employer in the Algerian public sector, and gaps in support staff can slow the start of the school year, particularly in provinces where recruitment has fallen short.
