This regulation establishes the procedures for appointing contract teachers to permanent positions and transferring tenured teachers within Turkey's Ministry of National Education. Contract teachers who complete 3 years of service can be appointed to permanent posts in their current location but cannot transfer for 1 year except for health or safety reasons. It details re-appointment processes for former state employees and sets strict eligibility criteria including criminal background checks, security investigations, and educational qualifications. Special selection procedures are introduced for teachers in Science and Art Centers (BİLSEM) involving evaluation commissions, oral exams, and scoring (60% from evaluation, 40% from oral exam). Similar competitive selection applies to physical education and arts teachers in sports and fine arts schools. The regulation prioritizes balanced nationwide teacher distribution, service points, and mandatory service in underdeveloped regions.
