Number of teachers requesting 'white coats' announced

The coats, which can be requested via the Ministry of National Education Information Systems (MEBBİS), will be given to teachers who wish to receive them on November 24, Teachers' Day.

The coats were designed and sewn in two different models at Public Education Institutes affiliated with the General Directorate of Lifelong Learning. One of the coats is a classic "white coat" for primary, middle, and high school teachers, while the other was produced to be suitable for kindergarten teachers to use comfortably during activities.

On the front of the classic white coat, there is a silver-colored embroidery design above the two pockets representing the "path extending to infinity under the guidance of science," and a silver-colored crescent on the collar.

CIRCULAR WAS PUBLISHED IN AUGUST

It has been learned that 900,000 teachers from the kindergarten, primary, middle, and high school sections of public schools have requested white coats via MEBBİS so far.

Approximately 1 million teachers work in official schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education.

The Ministry of National Education's circular dated August 21, 2023, regarding the procedures and operations for the 2023-2024 academic year, also included a clause encouraging teachers to choose to wear coats in terms of professional representation and serving as role models for students.
