Court Ruling: Ministry of Education Failed to Support Educators with Disabilities

The Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that the Ministry of Education illegally failed to implement legislation supporting people with disabilities in education between 2010 and 2015. The case involved three educators with disabilities who were unable to be permanently appointed due to the non-operation of the Pre-Service Training Program. The Court emphasized that the Administration had a duty to ensure that 10% of appointments were for people with disabilities and to take necessary measures to achieve this, even if it meant overriding administrative practices or financial difficulties. The ruling paves the way for compensation claims from the affected educators.
