Teachers' unions to protest outside presidential palace over new appointment system
Members of the teacher’s unions Poed, Oelmek, and Oltek will stage a protest outside the presidential palace this Thursday, opposing the new public school teacher appointment system. The unions criticized the education ministry's proposal for failing to address job security and the injustices faced by thousands of teachers. They specifically rejected the creation of a 'closed registry,' which they say would lead to temporary appointments without prospects for permanent employment.
Education Minister Athena Michaelidou responded by describing the proposal as "fair and balanced," highlighting its consideration of both experienced teachers and recent exam passers. She noted that updated proposals were submitted recently, with a consultation period open for teacher organizations to provide feedback. Despite ongoing discussions, the unions remain dissatisfied, maintaining that the ministry has not offered a substantive solution to their concerns.
