The break in education has been extended!

Two 7.7 magnitude earthquakes occurred in more than 10 provinces in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey, causing great destruction. While the whole world is mobilizing for search and rescue activities, it has been announced that schools are also on holiday. Today, it was decided to extend the break.

The break in education has been extended until February 20!

An earthquake of 7.7 magnitude occurred at 04:17 in the Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş province. Surrounding provinces, especially Hatay, Adana, Osmaniye, Diyarbakır, Malatya and Şanlıurfa, were also affected by the earthquake.

After more than a hundred aftershocks of up to 6.6, another earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 (revised as 7.7) according to AFAD data and 7.5 magnitude according to Kandilli Observatory data occurred at 13:24.

After that, the Minister of National Education Özer said, “We are taking a one-week holiday in our schools all over Turkey until February 13.” However, after the size of the earthquake was understood more clearly, a new decision was taken. Accordingly, the break in education has been extended until February 20.

In addition, students (parents) living in the earthquake zone will be able to transfer to schools in the provinces of their choice, if they wish. In other words, they will be able to continue their education in the provinces they want throughout Turkey, regardless of their residential address.
