Concerns Raised Over Education Regulations and Legal Processes

Süleyman Gelener, Secretary of the Cyprus Turkish Teachers' Union (KTÖS), has raised concerns regarding recent developments in the education sector. He criticized the government's and Ministry of Education's actions, arguing that principles of legality, meritocracy, and public interest have been overlooked.

In his statement, Gelener noted that changes to education regulations occurred within the last week. He emphasized that such changes should have been discussed in the Technical Committee, yet the Registration and Admission Regulation was altered without convening this committee. He deemed this action contrary to legal requirements.

Moreover, Gelener stressed the importance of the transfer commission's role in this process. He believes that necessary steps have not been taken to ensure transparency and fairness in the education system. Strengthening the merit-based system in education is crucial, him.

KTÖS highlighted that such practices could negatively affect the future of both teachers and students. Gelener asserted that educational policies should be designed with public interest in mind.

He argued that the opinions of the educational community should also be considered in this process, emphasizing the need to listen to teachers' voices. He called for cooperation and dialogue to address the challenges facing the education sector.

In conclusion, Gelener's remarks have sparked an important discussion aimed at improving the education system. The issues in education and proposed solutions will continue to be a focal point for the public.
