Speaking at the opening of a training day for the General Secretaries of the Wilaya Directorates of Education in Blida, Minister Saadaoui highlighted that the adoption of a certificate-based teacher recruitment system would provide the sector with numerous benefits. “We aim to achieve and realize specific objectives through this particular type of competitive examination,” he stated.
