Turkey 2026 teacher exam result controversy

Overview

Following the release of the 2026 Ministry of National Education Academy Entrance Exam (MEB-AGS) and Teacher Field Knowledge Test (ÖABT) results on August 26, significant controversy emerged regarding calculation errors.

ÖSYM reported that the weights of six sub-tests were incorrectly calculated and subsequently removed the results from its website to perform recalculations. The Eğitim-İş union characterized the incident as “institutional insincerity,” alleging that the 2026 exam was evaluated based on 2025 question distributions, potentially affecting the scores of hundreds of thousands of teachers.

The situation has prompted parliamentary action. İYİ Party MP Metin Ergun submitted an inquiry to Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin regarding a loss of public confidence, while YENİ Party MP Suat Özçağdaş demanded transparency, rejecting the explanation that the error was merely a “technical glitch.” Critics have also linked the instability to the Ministry’s new National Education Academy model.
