Developments on Teacher Evaluation and Protests

November 17, 2025

This week, significant developments are expected regarding teacher evaluation. Teachers have planned a work stoppage and protest outside the Parliament during the discussion of the Ministry of Education's bill. Despite dialogue efforts, no agreement has been reached between the ministry and educational organizations. Both POED and OELMEK have rejected the bill, citing deficiencies in the implementation plans. They demand full consultation and a clear support plan for the evaluation's implementation.
