permanent (state) eployees

Explanation:
vs those on contract. Permanent employees is better if it's for teachers - yes they are paid by the state but they are not "agents" of the state in the same way as a civil servant would be. The distinction in any case is between those on permanent status vs those on (limited-term or renewable) contracts.
