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.
