A public opinion issue was presented to us by an uncertified teacher, a graduate from the College of Education, reporting an incident and requesting support and advice.

One of the graduates applied to work in private schools to practice his academic specialization due to the lack of opportunities for government appointment.

An interview was conducted at one of the private schools, and after the interview by school specialists, a contract was signed for one academic year.

He was informed to leave the job without real reasons and without notice or warning. More importantly, he was not provided with a copy of the contract signed between the two parties for the purpose of objection, administrative appeal, or at least for argumentation.

Can a teacher be treated like an unqualified simple worker? By the way, the College of Education is a specialized educational college whose curricula are divided into two categories:

• Scientific courses related to all departments required by the Ministry of Education.
• Educational and pedagogical courses ranging from psychology to teaching methods.

Therefore, they are specialists and qualified, but they lack the opportunity to apply what they have learned practically to gain field skills.

Anyone who disparages its graduates disparages the qualifications and knowledge of all the professors in that institution, in addition to questioning the management of the college and its departments.

Let’s move on to very important questions that make this a public opinion issue: Is it an educational institution or are its laws special laws related only to the investor and the school principal?

Theoretical answers exist, but the actual practical answers are unclear, unknown, or more precisely, non-existent…

The reason is that these institutions have a commercial and economic nature and belong to entities and individuals who may have no connection to the philosophy that education, school, teacher, and student are not commodities but partners imposed by reality.

The goal is to reduce the numerical pressure of students from public schools towards private ones while keeping educational goals constant. Public and private schools share the responsibility of shaping our students’ future for the better. However, turning them into commercial shops that disregard teachers and view students as financial economic resources is unacceptable and requires all regulatory bodies to monitor these institutions.

In conclusion, it is of utmost importance to prepare clear and transparent instructions binding both parties: the government (Ministry of Education) and the private school, to establish that it is an institution with regulations and systems like public schools.

As for leaving the matter in the hands of the investor, we can only say that the educational future is bleak, distinctly colored by profits and money, making educational goals and foundations blown away by the wind.
