Erdoğan dismisses head of examination agency over fraud claims

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan today (August 3) dismissed the head of the Measuring, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), the country's examination agency, over claims of fraud in the Public Personnel Selection Examination (KPSS).

After the exam on Sunday, claims spread on social media that the questions had been leaked before the exam.

The questions had been shared on a YouTube channel of a private education institution and in WhatsApp groups, according to the claims.

Releasing a statement yesterday, the ÖSYM rejected the claims.

Also yesterday, Erdoğan said on Twitter that the State Supervisory council was probing the claims. (VK)
