🇬🇧 English

This order sets the initial training and job-adaptation routes for new teaching and education staff in France’s public education system. The route depends on the recruitment exam passed, the candidate’s degree level, whether the degree is connected to teaching, and whether the candidate already has significant teaching experience. In practice, new recruits may spend one or two years in training, with different status during that period, such as trainee civil servant or student civil servant. The order also defines how much classroom responsibility they may take on, when they must follow a teaching and education master’s program or university diploma, and when tutoring and supervised practice are required.
