The Turkish Cypriot Secondary Education Teachers’ Union (KTOEÖS) will hold a protest regarding planned changes to the “Middle Schools and Secondary Education Institutions Class Advancement Exam Regulation” and the “Regulation on the Equivalence of Educational Activity Hours.” The union will carry out this event in front of the Ministry of Education today at 2:30 PM.
KTOEÖS General Secretary Adnan Zekai stated that the High Advisory Board’s meeting is scheduled to take place at 3 PM today. This meeting is said to address the aforementioned regulatory changes. Zekai emphasized that receiving such information outside of working hours and via phone is unacceptable for them.
In his statement, Zekai said, “Those who cannot muster the courage to make an official call during working hours are notifying us by phone late at night. This approach shows a lack of respect for consultation, the union, and the will of teachers.” He also expressed that KTOEÖS will never accept any stance that undermines the rights and will of teachers.
Providing clear information about the protest, Zekai noted that the demonstration in front of the Ministry of Education is part of the union’s reaction to this situation. The event, scheduled for 2:30 PM, will present participants with an important opportunity to voice their concerns.
This announcement and the organized protest by KTOEÖS aim to take a firm stance against certain practices in the education sector. The union’s initiative may lead to increased awareness of important issues related to education.
