Obligations
What this law requires
Establish initial teacher training programs through higher education institutions that include professional internship periods in private contracted educational establishments (first degree), organized according to state-defined guidelines, with mandatory mentorship accompanying the training.
Implement a two-year training duration for external exam candidates who hold the required degree/diploma but have not completed a first year of master's level formation, with initial one-year appointment as 'élève' (trainee) followed by one-year practical stage.
Assess 'manifeste insuffisance' (manifest insufficiency) of trainees through the training supervisor (regarding capacity to follow second-year coursework) or academic director (regarding aptitude to teach students), and determine extensions or termination of trainee status.
Dismiss trainees who are not promoted to permanent status after their trainee period by decision of the academic director (acting on rector's delegation), with reinstatement to previous employment status if they held contractor/agreed master or civil servant positions.
Require external exam winners to hold a master's degree or recognized equivalent diploma to obtain permanent contracts; if deemed apt but lacking this qualification, extend their stage period by one additional year with opportunity to obtain permanent status upon diploma acquisition.
