The National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof) alerted to the existence of approximately 2,650 unfilled positions a few days before the start of the new school year. The situation raises concerns about schools' ability to start the school year with all teaching needs covered.
Fenprof's alert comes in a context of worsening working conditions in the teaching profession. The federation has been drawing attention to the difficulties teachers face and the structural problems affecting the education sector.
The proximity of the start of the school year without resolution of these vacant positions may mean that many classes will be left without a class teacher or with incomplete hours, affecting the quality of education provided to students.
