The Ministry of National Education, Preschool, Vocational Training and Rehabilitation has reopened applications for entrance exams to teacher-training qualification pathways at the regional centers for education and training professions for 2026. The move brought parliamentary and education-sector demands to open competitions for financial posts in music education and fine arts. The ministry has not organized recruitment exams in those two specialties since 2013. The lack of hiring in art education is described as entrenching spatial disparities between educational institutions.
