Summary of the bill.
The draft bill proposes a mandatory mechanism under Law 47 of 1946 for temporarily replacing teachers at public educational centers. The mechanism would be special and expedited and would apply when an absence disrupts the continuity of instruction. It would require the education authority to initiate coverage on its own initiative, follow existing selection procedures, and protect the incumbent teacher’s rights. It would also allow interim coverage of permanent vacancies while the ordinary appointment process proceeds.
