Chaos in Parliament over Education Ministry Support Program Bill – OELMEK Accuses Ministry of Deception

The discussion in Parliament regarding the bill on the employment of personnel in support programs of the Ministry of Education has caused strong reactions. OELMEK accused the Ministry of deception, as it was not invited to a dialogue despite repeated attempts, while the bill's discussion proceeded without its participation. OELMEK also protests the representation of these employees by the SEK and PEO trade unions, believing that they should be represented by educational organizations. The trade unions rejected the accusations, while the discussion focused on the economic impact and lack of controls in the programs.
