With this regulation, it is requested that the topics of national unity and social integration be incorporated into educational activities.

GOALS SET FOR STUDENTS

The Ministry of National Education has requested that efforts be made to raise students in line with the understanding of constitutional citizenship and the principle of equality. The circular states that the goal is for students to adopt a sense of national unity and solidarity, and to gain awareness in upholding the law of the homeland and brotherhood.

In this context, social integration has been included among the topics to be addressed in events and activities to be organized in schools during the new academic year.

The circular further states that the national stance set forth within the scope of the Law on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration is among the Ministry's fundamental priorities.
