Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin made notable statements ahead of the new academic year. In addition to regulations concerning students, he noted that important steps have been taken regarding school registrations and clothing. Minister Tekin announced his innovative approach to education and decisions aimed at easing the burden on parents.

NO MANDATORY DONATIONS WILL BE COLLECTED

Minister Tekin emphasized that no mandatory donations are collected from parents during school registrations under any circumstances. Stating that this practice for parents is based on the principle of equality in education, Tekin said, "Mandatory donations will absolutely not be requested during school registrations. Our parents do not need to make any payments."

A NEW DIRECTION FOR EDUCATION WITH THE GREEN HOMELAND THEME

The Minister announced that joint events will be organized with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to increase environmental awareness alongside education. Stating that they will carry out nature-friendly activities with students within the framework of the "Every child is a sapling" project, Tekin said, "Our first lesson will begin with the motto 'Green Homeland,' and families will also adopt the 'Green Homeland' theme during this process."

SCHOOL UNIFORM REGULATION: NO CHANGES FOR 4 YEARS

Tekin also announced an important regulation regarding school uniforms. To ensure that students do not have to buy different clothes every year, they will be able to continue wearing the same school uniform for 4 years. Tekin said, "We told our teachers and school administrators to make arrangements regarding school uniforms without specifying any brand or definition. The levels in our schools are 4 years. In other words, our parents will be able to send their children to school in the same uniform for 4 years."

A NEW ERA BEGINS IN EDUCATION

With these regulations, Minister Tekin said that they aim to increase both equality in education and environmental awareness. By prioritizing the satisfaction of families and students, he touched upon the importance of resolving issues that had previously come to the agenda regarding topics such as school registrations and clothing.
