Khaberni - The cabinet decided in its session held on Sunday, chaired by Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan, to approve the justifying reasons for the project of the Teachers' Clubs system for the year 2025; in preparation for sending it to the Legislation and Opinion Bureau to complete the necessary procedures for its approval,
The system coincides with the government's work on improving the infrastructure of teachers' clubs valued at 3 million dinars, and increasing their number by constructing buildings for teachers' clubs in some provinces where they are not available.
It also comes in light of the need to update the Teachers' Clubs System No. (12) for the year 1995 and its amendments, and to review it in a way that is consistent with the legal, social, and economic changes that have occurred since its issuance, and in alignment with developments in legislation and public administration.
The system aims to serve teachers and enable broader groups to benefit from their clubs' services, including teachers and administrators working in licensed private educational institutions and those who are retired, by reducing membership and subscription fees.
It also aims to organize the institutional relationship between the Ministry of Education and Teachers' Clubs by forming a central committee concerned with clubs' affairs, unifying the bases of supervision, support, and administrative and technical guidance; which enhances the Ministry's regulatory and organizational role and fosters institutional integration in management. It works to ensure governance in managing teachers' clubs by forming the club's administrative body based on the recommendation of the Teachers' Clubs Affairs Committee in order to achieve administrative and institutional stability.
It also works to enhance the solidarity and social dimension among the members of the teachers' clubs by establishing a Social Solidarity and Cooperation Fund for club members, which contributes to providing solidarity services to participants, and enhances the social stability of the ministry's employees.
The system aims to enhance financial oversight of teachers' clubs by subjecting their accounts to audit by the Audit Bureau in accordance with the provisions of applicable legislation, ensuring the legality of financial transactions, the integrity of accounting procedures, and the principles of transparency and accountability.
Under the system, teachers' clubs will be subject to the provisions of the applicable financial and administrative legislation, especially the Government Procurement System and the financial system used by the Ministry of Education and the instructions issued under it, which enhances governance requirements, ensures good management of club resources, and transparency and accountability.
This comes within the framework of several measures taken by the government to support teachers in recent months, where it has disbursed emergency advances to all those who applied for them, doubled the percentage of the royal grant for teachers' children in higher education institutions from 5 to 10% starting from the current academic year, and will also allocate 5% of the total grants and loans offered by the Student Support Fund for teachers' children in universities, doubled the number of Hajj missions allocated for the Ministry of Education from 60 to 120, in addition to maintaining teachers' clubs, improving their services, and building teachers' clubs in some provinces where no clubs exist.
