The Public Personnel Selection Exam (KPSS) session on July 31 has been canceled after the alleged leak of the questions, the head of Türkiye's central examination agency has announced.
Prof. Bayram Ersoy, who was appointed today (August 4) as the head of the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), said the sessions due to take place on August 6 and 7 have been postponed and the new schedule will be announced shortly.
"We are determined to strengthen the place of ÖSYM in the heart of the nation by sharing with the public the deficiencies and disruptions that have arisen and taking precautions. We apologize to all candidates for this unfortunate process that caused cancellations and postponements in a way we never wanted," Ersoy said in a written statement.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan dismissed the head of the ÖSYM early yesterday, after the revelation of the leak of the questions.
The questions had been in books published by the Yediiklim Publishing House before the exam. The ÖSYM had initially rejected the claims. (RT/VK)
