Starting October 1, 2026, many civil servants from the Ministry of Preschool and Primary Education will officially retire. This was communicated to the administration through a note sent by the Minister of Labor and Public Service to the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Preschool and Primary Education.
In this document, the minister attached the nominal list of the affected agents, which includes teachers, inspectors, and educational advisors who have dedicated several decades to educating Beninese children.
National Recognition for Services Rendered
The Minister of Labor, also representing the Beninese state, extended his congratulations and those of the President of the Republic to the future retirees. These words acknowledge their dedication, sacrifice, and contribution to the development of the national education system.
This official recognition reflects the authorities’ desire to value professional paths marked by commitment and loyalty to public service.
Careers That Leave Their Mark on the Education System
The agents retiring have, for many, mentored several generations of students and young teachers. Their departure will pave the way for new recruitments or redeployments to ensure pedagogical continuity, particularly in rural areas.
As a reminder, retirements in the Beninese public service are governed by the age limit set at 60 or after 30 to 35 years of service depending on specific statuses.
