Minister Tekin's statement on absenteeism: Will there be flexibility?

Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin answered questions from Kanal7 Ankara Representative Mehmet Acet.

Minister Tekin also responded to a question regarding whether there would be any flexibility concerning absenteeism in schools.

Stating that "there is no situation that warrants flexibility," Tekin said:

"While so many of our teacher colleagues are making sacrifices, while the state is building so many schools and classrooms, and while it is investing in education and training processes, I do not find it right for our children to spend time in environments other than school. We will continue to be determined on this matter."
