While the quality of the students was reduced with the abolition of the thresholds in the Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS) applied to enter the university, a similar decision was taken regarding the academic staff teaching students in universities after this decision.
The Higher Education Institution (YÖK), which sought the condition of being a master's or doctoral student or graduate with thesis, which was previously desired for academics at universities, has brought these conditions to the level of being a bachelor's degree.
Now every undergraduate graduate can teach at universities. While there are innovations regarding the appointment of lecturers and lecturers in the regulations that came into force after being published in the Official Gazette, the President of the Higher Education Institution Erol Özvar announced the regulations as good news on his social media account.
With the reduction of the conditions for the appointment of academicians, which are included in the regulations, to language graduation, the debate on qualifications came to the fore again in the academy.
"UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATION AND WORK EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN ENOUGH TO TEACH"
In the articles related to undergraduate graduation from the regulations published in the Official Gazette dated March 3, it is stated that the work experience of undergraduate graduates will be considered in order to become an academician.
It was stated that 2 years of work experience will be sought for candidates who graduated from related fields, and 4 years of work experience related to the field will be sought for those who do not graduate from related fields.
PAVED THE WAY FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES BUT 50/D STAFF ARE WAITING
50/D permanent research assistants, who were victimized due to the expression "no job guarantee" in the regulation and whose number reached 40,000, reacted to the reduction of appointments to undergraduate graduation.
Research assistant Ömer Orbay Çetin, the Founder of the Research Assistants Solidarity Platform, stated that 50/D permanent academics, who spent 6 to 8 years in academic education but still faced unemployment, are waiting for a solution.
"50/D permanent research assistants feel devalued and excluded by the Council of Higher Education, after undergraduates are allowed to become academics and they have a lifetime job security one day after their appointment. YÖK, which plays an active role in many issues such as the entrance of undergraduate graduates to the academy, solving the problems of doctoral scholars, removing the threshold in the university entrance exam, still does not carry out a study on the 50/D problem and continues to treat nearly 40,000 50/D permanent research assistants as stepchildren. is doing," he said.
