Impacts of the Teacher Evaluation Proposal
October 17, 2025
The teachers' unions PODE and OELMEK reject the new proposal from the Ministry of Education for teacher evaluation and warn of possible strikes. They emphasize that the proposal does not improve the existing system and fails to recognize the root causes of issues facing education. PODE calls on the ministry to withdraw the proposed plan and engage in meaningful dialogue. They stress the need for a holistic approach to evaluation. The teachers highlight that the quality of education cannot be solely the responsibility of teachers.
