Important Step Forward for Educational Support Staff
A significant milestone has been reached in the dossier of educational support staff. A total of 1,226 agents responsible for accompanying students in colleges and high schools, as well as laboratory assistants, have been integrated into the civil service. This announcement was made on Wednesday by the Minister of Education, Noureddine Nouri, according to data from the TAP agency.
Background
This decision puts an end to a period of uncertainty for these agents, who have been working for several years in precarious professional conditions. Despite passing the competition organized in 2021, they did not have a stable status within the administration. In fact, according to the minister's clarifications, these agents had continued their activity until June 30, 2025, under contracts linking them to the Ministry of Education. Their situation was finally regularized thanks to Decree No. 403 of 2025, dated September 1, 2025, which provides for their integration into the civil service.
Administrative and Financial Procedures
The administrative and financial procedures related to their recruitment have now been finalized. The assignment decisions have also been made, allowing the concerned agents to officially take up their posts with a regular status. This integration primarily concerns educational advisors and support staff, whose role is essential in the daily life of educational institutions. They participate in monitoring students, educational supervision, and the smooth functioning of pedagogical and scientific activities, particularly in laboratories.
Demands and Expectations
For several months, these agents had made numerous demands to obtain regularization of their professional situation. They claimed, in particular, a recruitment in a single wave, like contract workers, in accordance with the results of the 2021 competition. They also demanded a fair and comprehensive solution for all winners. The announced integration by the ministry thus responds, in part, to these expectations. It puts an end to a situation considered fragile by those concerned and opens the way to more durable professional stability for these actors in the educational community.
Conclusion
The integration of these 1,226 agents into the civil service marks a significant step forward for the educational support staff. It recognizes the essential role they play in the educational system and provides them with the stability and security they deserve. This decision is expected to have a positive impact on the overall quality of education and the well-being of students in colleges and high schools.
