The Ministry of Education has completed necessary arrangements and procedures for sending 372 teachers to teach in foreign countries on a secondment basis. Dr. Saeed Bin Muhammad Al-Melais, Deputy Minster of Education, urged the education administrations in all the regions to nominate candidates to teach in foreign countries and Saudi academies abroad fixing Jan. 21 as a deadline for sending the candidates' names to the Ministry's Undersecretary. He stressed that no application will be accepted beyond that date. Eligible candidates must have a bachelor degree; their evaluation in the past three years should not be below 95 percent, and they must have spent six years in service and worked abroad or attended a course in a foreign country.

Candidates are also requested to produce authentic copies of their credentials as well as documents indicating their years of service and experience, a medical report and the family's ID. The candidates will teach Islamic subjects, biology, math, physics, chemistry, English, social sciences and school management.
