Turkey begins paid teaching applications for 2026-2027

Applications for paid teaching positions for the 2026-2027 academic year have begun in certain provinces and districts across Turkey. The recruitment process is managed by the Ministry of National Education to address potential teacher shortages in schools.

There is no single nationwide deadline for these applications; instead, the timeline varies by province and district based on local educational needs. In areas such as Kütahya and parts of Bursa, announcements regarding application windows and requirements have already been released.

Candidates can submit their applications through the e-Devlet portal. However, applicants are advised to monitor the official websites of local district national education directorates, as some regions may require additional documentation or specific forms in addition to the e-Devlet process. Failure to complete both the digital application and any required document submissions may result in disqualification from the evaluation process.
