Number of Classes Suspended from Face-to-Face Education Announced

Last week, schools went on a one-week break. The midterm break ends tomorrow and the training will continue face to face. Although distance education conversations have been on the agenda after the increasing cases in recent times, it was frequently repeated by various authorities that distance education would not be reinstated.

Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer made a statement after a one-week break after 2.5 months of face-to-face training. Some of the students thought that they could continue to distance education due to the increase in cases, but the decision was not in this direction. Ozer, schools will reopen tomorrow announced.

Some classes will remain ‘closed’:

On September 6, the 2021-2022 academic year started with 5 days a week for each class. After 2.5 months of training, a break would come. This holiday came last week, but some wanted it to be extended. Because the desired reduction in cases could not be achieved, and the school was a place where the spread of the virus was not very difficult. However, no change was made in the decision taken.

Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer announced to all students and teachers that schools will reopen on Monday: On September 6, 2021, we started face-to-face training at all grade levels, five days a week, and after a 2,5-month period, we entered the one-week break that was foreseen in the calendar. Our students and teachers had the opportunity to rest during the break holiday week. Now, we will continue from where we left off with the same determination and following all our health measures. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our students a healthy and successful academic year. As of 22 November 2021 Only 66 of 850 thousand classrooms will be closed. All other classes will continue with face-to-face instruction.

Özer stated that the classes that were quarantined and closed during the one-week break due to increasing cases also expired.As of November 22, 2021, 850 thousand classes only 66 will be closed. All other classes will continue face-to-face education” he stated. Minister Özer also talked about the precautions taken by teachers.
