Job Security Law must Cover Children too

Mehmet Onur Yılmaz from Agenda Child Association has said the system that will be established by job security law to be in effect as of 2016 is far from providing children's security.

"There is a missing aspect of job security law to be implemented at schools as well. It aims to provide security of staff only, which means anyone but students."

Grown up oriented

Yılmaz stating job security law to be implemented at schools has no benefit to students, drew attention to that the law is grown up oriented.

"General job security principles don't cover students at schools. These principles are already regulated grown up oriented.

"In order to establish private physical security conditions or to prepare conditions for environmental security for children, children's habits of use, and their developmental features should be assessed.

"The present job security law is far from that point".

A system covering children

Yılmaz reminding the need to have job security experts present within the frame of law in time, has expressed his suggestions as follows:

"Ministry of National Education should appoint these experts. Those people should be held responsible for children's physical security in concern with schools. This could be done by an interrelating regulation or by a section included in job security law.

"Development of sub-principles of the law could be specific to environments". (YY/TK)
