The Human Rights and Equality Institution of Türkiye (TİHEK) ruled that exam authority ÖSYM giving visually impaired candidates the same additional time in different exams was discrimination based on disability.
A person with 80 percent vision loss had applied, arguing that 14-point type and 30 minutes of extra time in the YDS, YÖKDİL and ALES exams were insufficient. The applicant said that, thanks to extra time equal to 50 percent of the duration in the EKPSS, they had been able to read the questions in time.
