In terms of form, the candidates will have to take two parts. The competency test will be conducted in the form of objective tests and organized centrally. The practical part will be sent to districts, cities, and towns and the teaching sessions will be recorded and sent to the exam organizing committee for grading. This method will reduce pressure on teachers and overcome the situation of teachers having to travel far and work hard.
Through this contest, it will be an opportunity for primary education institutions to discover, commend and replicate advanced models, contributing to creating motivation for the development of the educational career of each unit and of the whole industry.
At the same time, it contributes to assessing the current status of the team, thereby building a training and development plan to improve the professional qualifications and skills of teachers to meet the requirements of upcoming curriculum and textbook innovation.
