Tenure
Tenure is a policy that provides job security to certain employees, particularly in the field of education. Once granted, tenure protects teachers from being dismissed without just cause, allowing them to teach freely and pursue innovative ideas without fear of losing their jobs. This system is designed to promote academic freedom and attract talented educators.
In many countries, tenure is commonly associated with universities and public schools. The process typically involves a probationary period during which the employee's performance is evaluated. If successful, the employee is awarded tenure, ensuring a stable position and encouraging long-term commitment to their institution.
