SO, WILL THE 15TH QUESTION BE CANCELLED?
While students and experts argue that the question is flawed, all eyes have turned to the MEB. So, will the 15th question be cancelled?
MINISTRY OF NATIONAL EDUCATION: NO ERROR
An objection was filed with the Ministry of National Education (MEB), but the ministry stated that there was "no error or omission."
'IT IS NORMAL TO PERCEIVE IT DIFFERENTLY'
According to a report by NTV, while students and families are expected to take the issue to court, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Burak Karabey stated the following:
"It is quite normal for students to perceive different things here. For example, this length is expected from the question without using the word 'shortest'. However, this a-b length can be measured in different ways because the student did not hear the word 'shortest'. These children are racing against time; there should be no expressions that would lead to misunderstandings."
