Teachers working in the private sector face many problems in their business areas.
While teachers are waiting for their problems to be resolved, they are also trying to stand up against the paths of their employers.
Ozan Fındık, Member of the Board of Directors of the Private Sector Teachers Union, stated that the problems related to teachers working in the private sector are waiting for a solution.
"It is necessary for the Ministry of National Education (MEB) to inspect the sector and make some arrangements for teachers against the problems of our teachers working in the private sector," he said.
“MEB CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING AGAINST THE PROBLEMS”
Underlining that teachers working in the private sector continue their profession with professional insecurity, Fındık stated that the only solution to the problems is through the Ministry of National Education.
"Private sector teachers are employed on ten-month contracts, with salaries below or at the minimum wage, underpaid insurance premiums and being exposed to intense mobbing. Against these conditions, the MEB continues to do nothing," he added.
WE DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE IN AUGUST WHAT WE EXPERIENCED IN DECEMBER
Pointing out that there are currently around 400 thousand teachers working in the sector, Fındık pointed out that teachers have problems especially in terms of salary.
"We had problems with many institutions with the minimum wage hike in December. We have overcome the problems with our actual work, but we want the MoNE to carry out full inspections regarding the interim increase given in July. We do not want to experience the loss of rights we experienced in December in August," he said.
"12 MONTHS CONTRACT BUT APPLICATION DIFFERENT"
Pointing out that teachers in the private sector also face certain problems during the summer months, Fındık stated that the main problem is being forced to resign in violation of the contract.
"Although legally a 12-month contract is made, some institutions may act against it. Teachers are resigned at the beginning of the summer and left unemployed in the summer. In the summer, he has to be unemployed. Legal control is required," he added.
