Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has carried out personnel changes in the Ministry of National Education following a series of attacks on schools, according to the official gazette Resmi Gazete.
Under the published decree, a deputy education minister was dismissed. The reshuffle also affected the leadership of several key bodies, including the Board of Education and Discipline and a number of general directorates responsible for specialised areas.
The changes targeted the ministry’s central administrative structures and are viewed as part of a broader reorganisation of education governance.
The move follows recent incidents in Siverek and Kahramanmaraş, after which a seven-level school security model was introduced across Türkiye.
