ÖSYM Announces 2026 Teacher STS Results in Turkey

The Measurement, Selection and Placement Center of Turkey, known as ÖSYM, announced in an official statement that the evaluation process for the Teacher Selection Test (2026-STS) has been completed [1]. This exam, considered one of the most important stages for verifying academic qualifications within the Turkish education system, has now entered its final phase: notifying participants of their scores.

Result Announcement Details on the Official Portal According to reports by local media, including the İlkses Gazetesi newspaper, candidates who participated in this exam cycle have gained access to their user panels since the early hours of today [2]. ÖSYM emphasized that results are only viewable through the organization's electronic portal, and no paper report cards will be sent to candidates' addresses. This move is part of the full digitalization of educational processes in 2026.

How to View and Inquire About Scores Candidates must visit the ÖSYM results system to access their scores [3]. The inquiry steps are as follows: 1. Visit the website sonuc.osym.gov.tr. 2. Enter the National Identification Number (T.C. Kimlik Numarası). 3. Enter the personal password received during registration. In case of a forgotten password, candidates can also verify their identity and log in through the electronic government system (e-Devlet).

Importance of the STS Exam for Teachers The STS exam, or the Selection Test, is specifically for teachers who received their degrees from universities outside of Turkey. Passing this exam is mandatory to obtain "Denklik" (equivalence) certification from the Council of Higher Education of Turkey (YÖK). With the announcement of the 2026 results, successful candidates can begin the subsequent administrative steps for employment in Turkish public or private schools [1].

Objecting to Results As in previous cycles, ÖSYM has designated a specific timeframe for filing potential objections. Candidates who object to their final score are required to register their request along with the payment receipt for the objection fee, according to the instructions on the official website. Experts recommend that candidates compare their published answer sheet with the question key before taking any action [2].
