The Race of Finding a Secured Job:
The case of IIBF Graduates in Turkey
KPSS is the civil servant examination in Turkey
that every year a million of students take the examination for a secured job in
the public sector. In 2007, 1.5 million young people applied to the ‘Public Service
Personnel Selection Exam’ (KPSS). This general exam is a prerequisite for jobs
in public institutions. Each individual institution determines a specific
minimum score for hiring its personnel. There are a number of private courses
and classes to prepare the applicants for KPSS. Teaching posts are also filled
according to the results of this exam. Although the establishment of the KPSS
in 1999 has improved the situation, complaints about some aspects of the system
relating to hiring public personnel have not disappeared since then, and the
process continues with people voicing grievances, even if on a smaller scale.
There is now for example an “Association for the Wronged Teachers and Education
Workers”, formed by the graduates of teachers’ colleges whose members claim to
have scored good points at KPSS, yet were either not appointed to any teaching
post or only to temporary positions. In the 2012 examination 924,739 candidates sat for the examination and
of that amount the biggest share belongs to the IIBF graduates. Including the
new graduates every year, there are 350,000 unemployed graduates who struggle
to get a secure job. However, at the central staff appointments opened for IIBF
graduates that are based on the KPSS exam score does not show parallelism with
the numbers of graduates. Candidates for two years waiting for a civil service appointment face with insufficient cadres
that make it almost impossible.
According to a news at Haberahval for instance assignment given in November 2011, this number is a staff of
around 400 candidates examinee of IIBF graduates that corresponds to only two
per thousand. With the same way at the 2012 November assignment in spite of
hundreds of thousands of IIBF candidates there were only 700 cadres were given.
Despite the transmission of insufficient number of staff to the official
authorities, the grievance is still unresolved. Requested
to appoint a number of permanent
positions in June 2012 was
15 000, and that is only 5% of our candidates, while waiting for the request to be a civil
servant, was only 2900 squad. In real only close to one
percent of IIBF candidates were able to find a secured job. Every year
procurement officer is pronounced with great numbers, the rightful amount of
cadres have not been given to the IIBF graduates. As citizens wait at the public institutions and organizations to make any process, the IIBF
graduates are also awaiting assignment for 2 years after each test. From time to time given the vicious cadres of
Education, Arts and Sciences and
Engineering division of the
different faculties, and in particular the staff of the General Administrative
Services other candidates in the settlement, other elements that increase victimization. On the OSYM
guidance to university
preparation examination, the foundations; SGK, Tapu, Yurt-Kur, İş-Kur, Maliye
and PTT were mentioned as general administrative services. However, these
foundations either have not opened enough cadres or procured officers from
different codes that resulted in the victimization of IIBF graduates. The
positions that are committed to IIBF graduates procure officers under the code
of 4001 that is (having an undergraduate degree in any field), for which the
IIBF graduates not only race within themselves but also from other disciplinary
graduates. This implementation is not appropriate for the sake of the justice
and victimization of IIBF graduates.
Examples:
Yurt-Kur procured officers under the code 4001
that allowed the graduates of the
Faculty of Education and Faculty
of Science to get the job. The appointed candidates resigned by the first teacher
procurement as a result the institution left in a difficult
position. Similarly, although the
name of business the State Airports Authority continues to make the procurement with the code of 4001. SGK, at the last two assignments of
officer candidates began to also include the associate degree graduates. Instead of
assigning the IIBF graduates who for four year sacrificed material and moral,
pre-graduate degree owners are procured. Additionally, PTT, by adding the codes
of Industrial Engineering, Statistics, and Mathematics graduate candidates
to procurement gave them chance to be employed.
Other types of problems that
result in the victimization of IIBF graduates:
Government
has introduced job and career counseling
as a solution to unemployment.
The first procurement with this implementation carried out by the code 4001.
The candidates were given a 3-4 months of training. When the training and the
courses are analyzed, it will easily be understood that the 80% of the courses
given are already taken by the graduates of IIBF and the teachers of this
training programme are IIBF instructors. Therefore, this
work has led to a
waste of resources and time to the
state given code 4001. As this reason it would be more appropriate to allocate the job
and career counseling positions to IIBF graduates as the requirements correspond.
Ziraat Bank recently engaged in
procurement of teller office
positions accepted the associate degree graduates.
This is another victimization of IIBF graduates that the positions are given to
other discipline graduates. In addition the reason behind accepting the associate
degree owners is that the charge of causing
more work and less cost.
Generally schoolteachers’victimization is on media
because they are more organized than the other diciplinary graduates. However
it is clear that from the public procurements every year the biggest share is
given to the schoolteachers.
IIBF
graduates are constructed a group called 2012-2014 campaigne group. Speakers of
the group Atalay and Öztürk said that the 2012-2014 campaigne group is
constructed to get every IIBF graduates together. “We have many problems. First
of all we are unemployed. We are struggling to become a sivil servant. However
there is not enough cadres. IIBF graduates reached 350000 this year but only
722 cadres opened. We want our voice to be heard.”
Being a university graduate is not enough these
days. Also being a qualified personnel is needed. As there is not enough cadres
opened in the public sector, the university graduates are trying to find a job
in different fields which ultimately results in the lack of qualified personnel
that effects both public and private sector. Everyone should have the
opportunity to do their job.
