Key legal question

Whether an engagement authority may hire newly appointed technical teachers or workshop masters on privileged conditions that take account of prior private-sector experience without breaching equal treatment.

Yes. The authority may set such hiring conditions and may favor acquired experience, including experience from private enterprises, without violating equal treatment.

Extracted reasoning

For newly recruited staff entering technical education, differentiating hiring conditions by reference to relevant prior experience is permissible when it reflects the needs of the position and does not amount to arbitrary unequal treatment.
