Turkish Education Minister Yusuf Tekin clashed with opposition lawmakers at the parliamentary Plan and Budget Committee as deliberations opened on the Ministry of National Education’s 2027 budget. Tekin reacted sharply when several opposition MPs declined to shake his hand while criticizing MESEM vocational education programs, saying he was so upset he would not sleep until morning. The exchange underscores rising tension over vocational schooling policy as the committee begins line-by-line budget review.
