Protest by Employees of the Ministry of Education's Supportive Programs

September 3, 2026

Employees of the supportive programs of the Ministry of Education are holding a protest today to demand the safeguarding of their rights. They will gather in the morning and march to the Presidential Palace. The government has addressed some of their requests, such as ending their contract-based employment and converting them into full-time employees. However, according to current legislation, they are not eligible for unemployment benefits. The Minister of Education stated that the protest is misplaced as the government is taking steps to support the employees.
