Following footage from a graduation ceremony at Bornova Yahya Kemal Beyatlı Middle School last June, in which a person identified as a physical education teacher was seen popping champagne in the schoolyard, an investigation was launched by the İzmir Provincial Directorate of National Education. After the controversial images from the school, a new video emerged. In the footage, teachers were seen dancing and drinking champagne inside the school. The images of teachers consuming alcohol inside the school were also met with backlash from parents.
