Teacher's Charter Changes: Evaluations, Pay and Dismissal Protection

The act introduces significant changes to education law, primarily affecting teachers. New regulations modify teacher performance evaluation procedures, extend evaluation timelines, establish new rules for hiring beginning teachers, and protect teachers nearing retirement from dismissal. For parents and students, this means potentially greater staff stability in schools.
Key points
Dismissal protection: teachers within 4 years of retirement age with sufficient work experience cannot be dismissed – ensuring greater job stability for older educators
New evaluation rules: school principals have more time to evaluate teachers (30 working days instead of 21), and beginning teachers are evaluated after 8-11 months of work, allowing more time for adaptation
Higher jubilee awards: after 40 years of service, teachers receive 300% of monthly salary; after 45 years – 400%
New employment rules: beginning teachers are hired for one year with possibility to move to indefinite-term contract after meeting conditions, replacing the previous professional advancement system
Overtime pay: new detailed rules for calculating pay for extra hours, including possibility of higher limits for vocational subject teachers
Extended severance pay rights: teachers retiring receive severance payments after 10, 15 and 20 years of service, ranging from 2 to 6 months' salary
Graduate career monitoring: expanded system for collecting data on school graduates, including their further education and employment
New entities eligible for teacher compensatory benefits: expanded list of institutions where work counts toward teacher benefits
