#MENH2609426AUpdated rules for training, evaluation and tenure of trainee primary school teachers
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order updates the rules for trainee primary school teachers in France, mainly by shifting several decision-making references from the academy rector to the departmental academic services director acting on the rector’s behalf. It also clarifies what happens if a trainee misses the jury interview without a valid reason: the jury can decide based only on the written opinions already collected. Trainees may ask for interviews to be held by phone or video, and jury deliberations may also be held remotely. External competition winners who need a master’s degree or equivalent but do not yet have it can have their traineeship extended by one year, with tenure depending on obtaining the required qualification.
