Debate Over the Senior Educator Position in the New Evaluation System
November 27, 2025
The Senior Educator is a new position planned by the Ministry of Education, which has sparked disagreements in the parliamentary education committee. There are differing opinions on the significance and roles of this position. Some MPs, such as George Karoullas, propose its elimination, but the Ministry firmly rejects this suggestion. This position is considered essential for the new teacher evaluation system, with the capacity to mentor other teachers. Discussions are also ongoing about whether Senior Educators should have the right to pursue managerial positions in the future.
