Law of Justice and Parliamentary Democracy Ideal Platform in Eskişehir Sözcüsü Mehmet Ektaş made statements about not hiring rail system graduates. Ektaş said, “These children enrolled and graduated from these schools, trusting the state. They dreamed of their profession. Due to the education and diplomas they have received, they do not have a job opportunity anywhere except TCDD. Their families and themselves are experiencing great disappointment. “Children are depressed, their lives are about to be disgraced.”
Ektaş explained the developments with these words;
“The Railway Vocational High School, which is the only school where the railway dispatchers, train formation officers, pointers, machinists, road, electrification, signalization, telecommunication maintenance and repair officers, surveillance and technicians are trained, and where TCDD meets the need for qualified professionals, was included in the 1994 budget law. Within the framework of the decision to close schools belonging to public institutions, it was closed in 1998 after its last graduates. After the closure, the Railway Vocational High School building was transferred to Anadolu University. In order to meet TCDD's need for qualified professionals, the Department of Rail System Technologies was opened within Anadolu University Porsuk Vocational School. Within the department, under the branches of Business, Road, Machinery, Electric-Electronics, it has started to train professional staff who will take charge in the maintenance and repair services of dispatchers, train operators, timekeepers, conductors, railway tracks, electrification, signalization, telecommunication facilities. In a short period of time, the number of schools that train professional staff for the railways increased rapidly. High School and High School Rail System Technologies departments were opened in 14 provinces in our country, from Eskişehir to Erzincan, from Karabük to Muş. Currently; Schools in Eskişehir, Erzincan, İstanbul, Elazığ, Sivas, Karabük, Niğde, Afyon, Amasya, Muş, Erzurum, Osmaniye, Siirt, Yozgat continue their education. In the opening of these schools, the Ministry of National Education and our universities cooperated with TCDD. Education and Training programs were carried out in accordance with the needs of TCDD, together with railway experts assigned by TCDD. In these schools, almost all of the courses specific to the railway profession were given by TCDD personnel assigned by TCDD and still continue to be given. Students studying in these schools did their internships within the body of TCDD, and they continue to do so. Again, TCDD experts and the Vocational Qualifications Authority created the railway occupational standards and qualifications together, these were published in the official gazette.
“You know, vocational education was a matter of the country”
Ektaş said, “Tens of thousands of families trusting the promises made by the politicians who run our country to vocational education and the support given by TCDD to these schools, directed their children to these schools with great hopes, with the thought that they will have a profession and a job. Due to the education they receive, the only field where our young people who graduate from these schools can work is the railways. Rail system technologies are not included in the recruitment qualification table of any institution other than the railway. Today, we have thousands of graduates who graduated from the Rail System Technologies Programs in our country and are waiting for a recruitment announcement from TCDD and TCDD Taşımacılık A.Ş., and there are around 2000 students still studying. In previous years, TCDD and TCDD Taşımacılık A.Ş. These young people, who entered the job with limited positions opened by OSYM, were shocked by the announcement made by ÖSYM on June 30th. TCDD, 126 departure officers, 61 train attendants, 27 surveyors, 48 electrification line maintenance and repair officers, 73 signaling line maintenance and repair officers, 178 road line maintenance and repair officers, 19 pointer recruitment, TCDD Taşımacılık A.Ş. On the other hand, he sent the qualification table he prepared for the purchase of 3 conductors to OSYM, and the bitter truth emerged in the qualification table with the staff position table announced by OSYM on 30 June”.
“Children are depressed”
Ektaş continued as follows; “TCDD is arbitrary, has no public interest, and is in conflict with our country's vocational education policies and strategies; who have not received any formal vocational training related to these professions for dispatch officer, train dispatcher and surveillance, have no interest in these professions, "Bachelor's Degree in Commercial Economics, Accounting and Finance Teaching, Business Administration Teaching, Business Management and Trade Education Teaching, Statistics, Mathematics and Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science, Mathematics and informatics, Mathematics computer programming, applied mathematics and computers, Computer and control teaching, Accounting and Finance Teaching, Business Teaching, International Economy, Customs Management, International Trade and Logistics Management, Transport and Logistics, Logistics Management” It has included thousands of rail system technology program graduates, which should be employed, and disabled thousands of graduates. These children, trusting the state, enrolled in these schools and graduated. They dreamed of their profession. Due to the education and diplomas they have received, they do not have a job opportunity anywhere except TCDD. Their families and themselves are experiencing great disappointment. Children are depressed, their lives are about to be disgraced”
