Thousands of Speech and Language Therapist graduates are having a hard time due to the circular issued by the Ministry of National Education (MEB).
With the circular published in the past days, thousands of industry graduates will not be able to continue their profession freely.
Within the scope of the regulation brought with the circular, speech and language therapists will have to work in special education and rehabilitation centers.
While therapists can open a rehabilitation center if economic conditions allow, it is stated that the regulation will cause problems within the sector and graduates may face problems such as unemployment.
“THE NOTICE SHOULD BE REVIEWED”
Speech and language therapists, who reacted to the decision taken on social media platforms after the publication of the circular, stated that they graduated from the Faculty of Health Sciences of universities and that they were healthcare professionals within this scope, and that the decision taken was against the law.
Emphasizing that therapists who practice their profession freely in the sector will suffer together with their patients, the therapists emphasize that they want to work in the institutions they wish, as in all healthcare professionals.
While comments are made that this decision may block the way for young people who want to move into the sector, the Ministry of National Education is expected to correct the decision.
