A post by a contracted teacher stating that they received a salary of 11,459 lira in April divided social media users into two camps. While some commented under a definitive post saying, "A salary below the minimum wage is unacceptable," another group accused the teacher, saying, "This is the salary projected for teachers... Those who choose to work as contracted teachers knowing this should not complain."
A paid teacher who stated that they received a salary of 11,459 TL in April made a social media post that quickly became a hot topic. The teacher's revelation of their low salary divided social media users.
"THEY SHOULD NOT REBEL"
One group supported the teacher by saying, "A salary below the minimum wage is unacceptable," arguing that the living conditions of education workers should be improved. The other group criticized the teacher who works for that amount, commenting, "The conditions of being a paid teacher are clear; they do this job knowingly. It is meaningless for them to rebel later."
WORKING CONDITIONS BECAME A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AGAIN
The post reopened discussions about the injustices in the education system and the working conditions of paid teachers. Education unions have long been reacting to the paid teaching system and demanding equal pay for equal work.
