Teachers law proposes more working time for highly qualified educators
As part of the Teachers Law, the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) has proposed extending the working age for high-level educators by five years or more.
Educators holding the titles of professors, associate professors and PhD can extend their working time at their institutions beyond the retirement age for teaching and scientific research purposes. The extension is no more than five years for PhD holders, seven years for associate professors and 10 years for professors.
During this period, they will only carry out their professional duties as educators and not hold management positions. When they wish to retire or the institution no longer requires their services, they will receive retirement benefits according to the law.
