سياسة تعيين المتعاقدين في الوظيفة العامة في لبنان : مثال المعلمين الرسميين
Labor of its evolution up to the establishment of the policy of appointing employees based on contractual agreements in public education sector as a direct line toward joining public office. The article tackles the regulations which were prevailing as regards to appointing teachers in elementary and secondary cadres before 1975 and how contractual agreements were marginal at that stage and were limited to filling shortages in remote villages and in a limited number of schools and courses. Afterwards, the article discusses the chaos of contractual agreements due to the security conditions after the war in accordance with the prevalent political map and reveals the crisis of appointing thousands of contractual employees in the eighties. Solving this crisis through political pressure resulted in a new path in appointing employees based on contractual agreements and this has negatively affected the path of appointing employees on the basis of graduating from teaching schools and the faculty of education. By the late nineties, teachers colleges and the faculty of education lost their roles and the legislators issued a series of laws legislating the appointment in the cadre according to three principles: contractual agreements, absence of teachers’ preparation, non-stipulation of a certain degree (in elementary school) or the stipulation of a BA only for secondary school. These new conditions contradict with the international trends in appointing teachers and with the principles of qualification and equality and resorting to fresh graduates. (Published Abstract)
