The question: when and how did it start the signing of non-fixed contracts for teachers in Georgia?! If you don’t know exactly, then read this information below:
The issue of non-fixed contracts for teachers nationwide, was resolved after a court case initiated by the Educators and Scientists Free Trade Union of Georgia (ESFTUG). Despite the fact that significant changes were made to the Labor Code in 2013 and the trade union was involved in the process of developing and discussing the draft code, there were illegal dismissals of teachers on the grounds of the expiration of the one-year contract. In 2015, with the precedent decision of the court, when the ESFTUG won the court cases of 2 teachers from the Gori county. The director of the public school in the village of Khidistavi in the Gori county dismissed the teachers on the grounds of the expiration of the one-year contract. The head of the district educational resource center and the lawyer of the education resource center made explanations through mass media that the dismissal was legal. Only after the court decisions was the harmful trend of dismissing teachers on the grounds of the expiration of one-year contracts put an end. An contract concluded with a teacher is considered non-fixed if the teacher has worked at the same school for 30 months.
The conclusion of a new employment contract for each new academic year is due to the fact that the teacher's hourly workload, status, etc. are variable. For this reason, changes can be made to the employment contract concluded with the teacher even in the middle of the year.
