Date for the release of professional teacher license results: Announcement by the Education Evaluation Authority
The Education and Training Evaluation Commission in Saudi Arabia announced the mechanism and specific dates for releasing the results of the professional license exams for the current year, a step awaited by thousands of teachers and applicants for jobs in the education sector. The commission explained that the results will be announced in two phases to ensure easy and convenient access for all beneficiaries.
Results announced via text message and online platforms
The authority has set Monday, March 9th, as the date to begin notifying applicants of their results directly and immediately. This initial phase relies on sending SMS messages containing the results to the mobile phone numbers registered in the applicants' files. This method aims to enable teachers to access their preliminary results quickly and efficiently.
In a further step, the authority announced that detailed and official results will be available starting Tuesday, March 10. Candidates can access their personal accounts through the approved platforms to view their detailed scores. These platforms include the "Test Registration System" and the "Professional Licenses System." The authority has also equipped these systems with QR codes to facilitate and expedite access to accounts and results viewing.
General context and importance of professional licensing
The professional license for teachers is a cornerstone of the Kingdom's education development strategy, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Human Capability Development Program. This system was launched to elevate the teaching profession and ensure the quality of its outcomes by verifying that those working in the education sector possess the necessary competencies and skills to perform their duties effectively. The exam consists of two main parts: a general educational test covering fundamental educational skills and knowledge, and a specialized test that measures the teacher's expertise in their field of specialization.
Expected impact on the education sector
The professional licensing system has a significant impact at the local level, as obtaining it has become a prerequisite for practicing the teaching profession in both public and private schools. This system contributes to raising employment and promotion standards and enhances the status of teachers as specialists in a field requiring specific qualifications. In the long term, the implementation of this system is expected to positively affect the quality of education provided to students, contributing to building a generation capable of competing globally.
Regionally and internationally, this step places the Kingdom among the advanced countries that apply strict standards for licensing the teaching profession, which enhances the reputation of the Saudi education system and makes it a model to be emulated in the region, and reflects a serious commitment to investing in human capital as the most important resource for achieving sustainable development.
