Teacher candidates will be paid a monthly amount calculated by multiplying the indicator figure determined during the preparatory training process by the civil servant monthly coefficient.

Contracted teachers who have completed three years of service will be appointed to teaching positions in their place of duty upon their request. Those appointed to teaching positions will not be able to change their location for 1 year, except for relocations based on valid excuses.

The teaching profession of those convicted of crimes such as manufacturing and trading of drugs or stimulants, facilitating their use, accepting, possessing, or using them, as well as indecent acts, obscenity, prostitution, and crimes against sexual immunity, will be terminated.

In the event that the crimes of "intentional injury," "threat," "insult," and "resisting to prevent the performance of duty" are committed against teachers in official and private educational institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education due to their duties, the penalties will be increased by half, and the provisions for the suspension of prison sentences will not be applied.
