NEW CARD APPLICATION STARTING
In his speech at the program, Gül also announced a new social support application and provided information about the card system to be prepared for students. He stated that the application aims to contribute to meeting the basic needs of children, especially those continuing their education. Gül explained that the card would only be used in school canteens and that balances would be loaded regularly.
Continuing his speech, Gül expressed that the rent support provided to families would also continue, using the following statements:
"We will give this card to our siblings who go to school. It will only be valid in the school canteen, and we will regularly load 2,000 lira each month, which will be valid for your essential needs, primarily food, in the canteen. From now on, we will, God willing, be there for our children in every area they need, especially in their educational lives. Just as in the past, we will continue to provide monthly rent support of 20,000 lira."
