Å~^irinoglu is set to meet Dincer in the upcoming days. According to
the report, the community will demand the abolition of Turkish deputy
principals being appointed to minority schools, which started being
implemented during the 1970s. The report will also demand that the
terms of offices of Turkish language and Turkish history teachers be
determined by the schools themselves.
Speaking to the Hurriyet Daily News, Å~^irinoglu said he had some
concerns about the subject of the deputy principals, but that he
was planning to prioritize the issue of teacher appointments at the
presentation of the report.
"Of course, the state should give citizens their rights, but this
should be carried out with a proper attitude. I am planning to give
priority to the issue of the teachers' terms of office, and I believe
we will get positive results [from the meeting]," he said.
