🇬🇧 English

This regulation, published on 24 February 2026 in the Official Gazette No. 33178, makes targeted amendments to the rules for assigning school administrators in Turkey. The primary change removes the phrase "or classroom" from Article 6(2)(ç), altering eligibility criteria. The third paragraph of Article 6 is rewritten to allow assignment of teachers from other fields when qualified candidates are unavailable, provided they meet conditions in Article 5(1). Notably, classroom teachers may now be assigned to kindergartens (anaokulu) without needing to satisfy the specific condition in Article 5(1)(ı). Amendments to Article 33 adjust references from "first" to include "and second" paragraphs and update cross-references accordingly. These changes expand the pool of eligible teachers for administrative roles, particularly for pre-school institutions.
