The new draft circular removes the title of teaching assistant (grade III, code V.07.01.23). According to the Ministry of Education and Training, this adjustment comes from the draft Law on Higher Education , which stipulates that a teaching assistant is only a person who performs teaching support tasks and is no longer classified as a teaching officer title.

In addition, the draft also changes the way lecturers' professional titles are called: Instead of being classified as before (grade III lecturer, grade II main lecturer, grade I senior lecturer), now there will only be the names lecturer, main lecturer and senior lecturer.

These adjustments are intended to ensure consistency with the provisions of the Law on Teachers and the Law on Civil Servants (amended).

According to the draft new circular, the standards for basic training and development remain the same as before, with only one change: Instead of requiring "having a training certificate according to the professional title standards of lecturers", the regulation now states "having a training certificate according to the professional standards of lecturers".

Standards on professional competence and expertise
