What is the Titularization exam

Tenure is the employment exam for teachers for an indefinite period. However, in order to be entitled, they must obtain a minimum grade of 7 in both the written exam and the classroom inspection. Those who obtain marks between 5 and 7 in the written test and in the classroom inspection will become substitute teachers, that is, they will be employed for a fixed period. Last year, classroom inspection was eliminated due to the Education strike. The practical/oral tests, provided above, are evaluated by “Admitted/Rejected” qualifications. No appeals are allowed for these tests, the result established by the committee for organizing and conducting the tests remains definitive.
