Changes to the Teacher's Charter: More civil law contracts until 2027

The amendment allows non-public kindergartens and schools to hire teachers on civil law contracts (e.g., contract of mandate) for up to 9 hours per week, instead of an employment contract. This solution is valid only until August 31, 2027. For teachers, this means less job security, but for schools, it offers greater flexibility in organizing classes.
Key points
Until August 31, 2027, non-public kindergartens and schools can assign teachers to conduct classes based on a civil law contract, not an employment contract.
Such a teacher can conduct a maximum of 9 hours of classes per week on this basis.
A teacher on a civil law contract must meet the same qualification requirements as a teacher employed on a full-time basis.
When calculating the number of full-time positions in the institution, each hour of classes on a civil law contract counts as 1/20 of a full-time position (based on a 20-hour weekly teaching load).
