Procedure details
Description
As part of the recruitment of teachers at primary and secondary schools, any replacement requirements that subsequently arise are to be compensated for through the succession procedure. Vacant positions at primary and secondary schools can be filled with additional teachers (exclusively fixed-term employment contracts without a promise of subsequent permanent employment and without a promise of continued employment).
Interested teachers can contact the relevant state education authorities or the local government. They will be able to provide further information.
Requirements
Primary and secondary school teachers (current examination year, waiting list applicants and free applicants) as well as grammar and secondary school teachers who do not receive a recruitment offer in this year's recruitment process and who have obtained their teaching qualification with an overall grade of 3.50 or better can apply in the succession procedure. Teachers with a teaching qualification for primary or secondary schools will be given priority.
Applicants with a 1st teaching qualification and students from higher semesters (each for one teaching profession) may also be considered as substitutes.
Proceedings
Applicants must apply to the respective government in writing or online.
For certain governments, the application can also be submitted online (see under "Online procedure" - in the BayernPortal after selecting a location). Once the required data has been entered in the relevant fields, the applicant will receive a confirmation of receipt by e-mail. The application is sent online to the government. It will be forwarded to the respective state education authority. This office will contact the applicant, decide on the assignment and determine the school of assignment.
Fees
none
Deadlines
Applications are possible as long as the positions are offered on the Internet.
Processing time
The state education authorities will contact the applicants as soon as possible.
Special notes
It is also possible to apply for several positions at the same time.
Anyone who has already received a confirmation of employment (e.g. for a position that has already been advertised or at a private school) cannot take part in the application process.
