AI SUMMARY
The Ministry of Education issued a directive making public school teacher promotions contingent on independent verification of student performance and specific competency requirements.
- Teacher promotions in public schools require independent verification that over 75 percent of their students achieved a score of 50 percent or higher.
- The directive was signed by Minister of Education Professor Berhanu Nega in September 2026.
- The policy applies to permanent teachers from pre-primary to secondary levels and outlines seven career advancement tiers.
- Teachers who fail to achieve a promotion twice consecutively or at different intervals lose the opportunity to apply for a third time.
- Advancing from senior teacher to associate lead teacher requires conducting practical research on teaching and learning challenges and supporting vulnerable students.
- Teachers who ensure all students achieve 90 percent or higher for three consecutive years, verified by an independent body, are eligible to skip one career level.
