Turkey launches 2026‑2027 paid teacher recruitment via e‑Devlet

The Turkish Ministry of Education (MEB) has opened applications for paid‑teacher positions for the 2026‑2027 academic year. Announcements are issued by provincial and district education directorates, and candidates must apply through the e‑Devlet online portal. There is no single national deadline; each directorate sets its own timeline, typically concentrating applications in July and August, with extensions possible when schools need additional staff.

Eligibility criteria include Turkish citizenship, no criminal record, compliance with military service requirements for men, relevant teacher training or qualifications, and not being employed by any social security institution. Applicants must submit their information and preferred districts via the e‑Devlet system and monitor local directorate notices for exact dates and vacancy details.
