Baghdad: MP Mustafa Abdul-Hadi submitted a parliamentary request to the Prime Minister to include the issue of regularizing the employment of contract teachers among the priorities of the upcoming federal budget bill.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Abdul-Hadi’s initiative highlights the pressing need to address the employment status of contract teachers, aiming to secure their positions within the educational framework. This request seeks to prioritize their regularization in the federal budget discussions, ensuring that these educators gain stability and recognition similar to their permanently employed counterparts.

The move by MP Abdul-Hadi comes at a time when contract teachers have been advocating for better employment terms, reflecting growing concerns over job security and fair treatment. By pushing for this inclusion in the federal budget bill, Abdul-Hadi aims to bring attention to the significant role contract teachers play in the education system and the necessity for their contributions to be valued through formal employment status.
