PROBLEM

The Ministry of National Education brings together more than 50% of civil servants, nearly 125,000 civil servants deployed throughout the country. Most of the management of the ministry is done by career teachers, with very little knowledge or experience in managing organizations. This practice has led over the years to a deficit of specialists in certain specific areas of management. Also at the level of the inspections, the observation remains the same, especially at the level of the human resources offices (BRH), where the existing staff manages the HR files without any basic HRM training. This situation makes it difficult to connect or interact between the less trained decentralized level and the central level, which brings together many more human resources management specialists. To solve this problem, a technical assistance mission was required to train BRHs in strategic human resources management.
