Türkiye'nin geleceğine yatırım yapmaya devam ediyoruz. Çocuklarımızın daha kaliteli eğitim almasını sağlamak için 15 bin yeni öğretmen ataması daha yapacağız. Hayırlı olsun.
'At least 100 thousand should be appointed'
On the other hand, the Education and Science Laborers Union (Eğitim-Sen) made a statement ahead of the first day of in-class education earlier this week and said that when there are fewer children in classrooms in the conditions of pandemic, the current need for teachers will rise:
"Given that there will be close contacts or ill teachers from time to time, it is of considerable importance that the immediate appointment of at least 100 teachers is ensured in order to meet the need for teachers." (KÖ/SD)
