Önder Uçak, the Muğla branch president of the Eğitim Bir-Sen union, has advocated for reforms to the teacher relocation and appointment system in Turkey to better support family unity. In August 2026, Uçak criticized the planned excuse-based appointment process, noting that current regulations could force teachers to choose between distant districts or failing to relocate at all. He argued that the system should prioritize family integrity through clear and fair guidelines rather than forcing teachers to calculate strategic advantages. By September 2026, the focus expanded to include criticism of the Ministry of National Education’s MEBBİS Assignment Module. Uçak argued that the module’s centralized nature ignores local geographic realities, such as long distances between districts. He proposed that local administrations, including governorships and district directorates, should retain authority to make decisions based on regional needs and public interest. In early September 2026, as the new academic year approached, Uçak reiterated his call for the implementation of ‘provincial orders’ to ensure family unity during teacher appointments. This demand aligns with his ongoing push for local authorities to have greater power to manage assignments to mitigate the limitations of the centralized MEBBİS system.
