For several days, social media has been discussing the issue of teachers who have been denied certification to take an exam to act as school principals.
In the discussions, it is reported that some teachers took the exam as principal candidates during the one-year grace period they were given after being decertified.
I wonder if a teacher who has not passed certification for a year can act as a principal?
On the topic Oku.AzEducation expert answering questions Elchin Efendi said that if a person meets the conditions of the competition to participate in the director selection exams, he will be able to carry out his activities as a director after obtaining the necessary indicators:
“This means that the person no longer wants to work as a teacher and will continue as a principal. This possibility is recognized by the person. However, if the person wants to work as a teacher of a subject after becoming a principal, then it is the main condition for pass the certification exam for that subject. Only after passing the certification will the person be able to work as both a teacher and a principal. If the principal certification process is started, the person will participate in the certification of their position.
It should be noted that in accordance with the approved bases, persons who have a higher education in the field of pedagogy or management, have at least five years of teaching experience and are currently engaged in teaching activities in general education institutions can participate in the competition for the position of director. It is possible to be a candidate for director with three years of experience if you have a scientific degree and a scientific degree in the field of educational organization and management.
In educational institutions, those who have pedagogical education in the corresponding specialty, as well as highly qualified specialists without pedagogical education in the corresponding specialty, can carry out pedagogical activities in the manner determined by the body (institution) determined by the relevant executive authority. However, those who have been prohibited from carrying out teaching activities by a legally binding court decision, whose conviction for a serious crime, especially serious, has not been withdrawn or have not been remunerated, who are incapacitated or have limited functional capacity, as well such as legally executed judicial decision on the application of mandatory measures of a medical nature to those who are prohibited from engaging in teaching activities due to diseases specified in the list approved by the body (institution) determined by the competent body of the executive branch, sexual abuse against children and people convicted of a crime related to sexual violence cannot carry out teaching activities. In addition, a teacher whose employment contract has been terminated for violating the rules of ethical conduct approved by the body (institution) determined by the competent body of the executive branch cannot carry out teaching activities for a period of one year.
