Interpellation system introduced for teacher replacements from 2024 to 2026: who can participate and who is excluded

Exciting Updates Coming for School Substitutes in 2024/2026

The upcoming changes in the educational system, particularly regarding substitutes for 2024/2026, include the replacement of Substitute Availability Declarations (Mad) with “interpelli”, though with restrictions that might exclude some teachers.

Who Can Participate in Interpelli for School Substitutes in 2024/2026

With the introduction of interpelli to manage substitutions outside of the ranking lists, some teachers will not be able to participate in the process.
While the new rules confirm the transition from Mad to interpelli, certain restrictions remain in place.

One significant change is that schools will no longer have a specific section dedicated to Substitute Availability Declarations, which teachers not included in the rankings could previously use to apply for positions.

According to the drafted ordinance, in case the institute rankings are exhausted, schools will publish specific notices for the recruitment of qualified teachers on their official websites.
These notices will also be sent to the relevant Education Office for publication on their websites.

Not everyone is eligible to apply through interpelli.
Teachers who are already part of a provincial ranking list for substitutions or those with an existing fixed-term contract will not be able to participate.

How Interpelli for School Substitutes in 2024/2026 Works

The interpelli system, replacing the previous Substitute Availability Declarations, will assign positions differently.
Substitutes will be appointed through:

• Provincial Ranking Lists for annual assignments by June 30th or August 31st,
• School Ranking Lists for short or occasional assignments (e.g., replacements due to illness, maternity leave),
• Direct calls if the school principal has exhausted the School Ranking List.

Teachers not included in the ranking lists will have the opportunity to respond to these calls.
It’s important to note that teachers can only register in one province’s ranking list and choose up to 20 schools per education level within that province.
