The primary concern revolves around the date of their integration into the ranks of assistant professors and certified teachers. The administration has set this integration for January 1, 2025. However, the collective group disputes this date, advocating instead for January 1, 2023.

To support their claim, the collective cites the order concerning their training programs and the decree outlining the specific statutes of secondary school teachers. According to these two documents, the teachers argue that their training should have been completed no later than 2022.

However, contrary to this timeline, the training program began in December 2022 and is scheduled to conclude in September 2024. The group, claiming not to be responsible for this situation, believes that January 1, 2025, cannot be considered their integration date. They are therefore demanding that this date be restored to January 1, 2023.

The second concern of ACDPE teachers relates to the consideration of their seniority for career advancement. According to the collective, an amendment implemented in May 2026 only took into account the period from 2018 to 2024, disregarding the four years spent under fixed-term contracts.

For these teachers, these years represent actual service during which they fulfilled their duties and contributed to the functioning of the education system. They believe that these years should not be erased or reduced when calculating their career progression. The collective is therefore demanding a complete restoration of the career records of the teachers concerned.

The other concern raised by the ACDPE 2014 teachers relates to the calculation method used for determining training time. According to the collective, the administration has applied a general rule of thirds, which they dispute. The collective argues that this rule is too broad and does not apply to their specific situation, which falls under a decree specifically for teachers.

Teachers argue that Article 120 of the law governing the general status of civil servants, which the administration is relying on, refers to a probationary period leading to permanent employment. However, they point out that they have not undergone a probationary period designed to result in permanent employment. “We were subjected to a trial period as part of our contractual arrangement,” they state.

They are therefore calling on the authorities to examine the applicability of Article 202 of the decree establishing the special statutes for teaching staff, rather than automatically applying the general rule of one-third.

During a press conference, the collective issued a call to the President of the Republic and the relevant ministries, urging them to find a solution based on legality, fairness, and recognition of the service rendered.

“We are simply demanding the restoration of our rights and the fair reconstruction of our careers,” the collective stated, also calling for the establishment of a dialogue framework with the relevant authorities.
