JEDDAH: The Civil Service Ministry plans to appoint nearly 26,000 women teachers who are qualified to take up jobs in the Kingdom’s education sector, according to ministry spokesman Abdul Aziz Al-Khonain.
He told Arab News that the ministry would soon announce the names of 25,944 teachers after considering their qualifications and experience.
“Those who obtained the maximum 95 points are entitled to be appointed to the post. These include 50 points for educational qualifications, two points for each year of experience and 25 points for academic performance,” he said.
Al-Khonain urged those teachers who qualify for jobs to contact the Ministry of Education’s Takamul website (tkml.moe.gov.sa) between May 17 and May 26 to fix a date for their interview.
“Those who fail either to update the required data at the site during the 10-day period or attend the personal interview would be deemed not interested in taking up the job,” he said.
Al-Khonain said these teachers would be appointed in the first phase and procedures for the appointment of another 2,066 women teachers would be completed soon. This was in line with the order issued by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah last year to create new jobs for 28,000 graduate teachers.
