Turkish teachers facing interview bias to get solution via PİKTES project, union says

Talat Yavuz, the general secretary of Turkey's Eğitim-Bir-Sen union, announced that a solution is forthcoming for teachers who claim to be victims of discriminatory interviews. Yavuz stated that the resolution will be implemented through the PİKTES project, with applications set to begin on August 14.

He explained that this development follows months of efforts, including protests and negotiations, to address the issue. Yavuz expressed his gratitude to those who contributed to the process, specifically mentioning the Minister of National Education, Yusuf Tekin, and the General Director of Personnel, Bülent Çiftçi.

"Good luck. First PİKTES, then MEB staff three months later," Yavuz stated in his social media post, indicating a two-step process. The announcement offers a potential resolution for teachers who have been advocating for fair treatment in the hiring process.
