Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin met with the Provincial Directors of National Education from 81 provinces to evaluate the preparations for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Attending the '2025-2026 Academic Year Preparation and Evaluation Meeting' held at Gölbaşı Mogan Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School were Minister Tekin, Deputy Ministers Celile Eren Ökten, Nazif Yılmaz, Ömer Faruk Yelkenci, Bilal Macit, as well as general directors and the Provincial Directors of National Education from 81 provinces.
"PARENTS WILL BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE EDUCATION PROCESS" Minister Tekin stated that the '2025-2026 Academic Year General Circular' will be announced soon and provided information regarding the circular. Expressing that two main issues were addressed in the circular, Minister Tekin said, "One of them is that our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared the year 2025 as the 'Year of the Family'. This issue has significant dimensions for our country and nation. In the upcoming academic year, we want activities and projects to be carried out in every province that focus on the family issue and raise awareness among our children about its meaning. In this context, we aim to utilize digital content on the EBA, HEMBA, and Velivizyon platforms, and to promote the 'My Educational Journey with My Family', 'Maarif Model Parent School', and 'Family School' course programs by developing collaborations between schools and Public Education Center Directorates, ensuring the active participation of parents in the education process is important," he said.
THE TOPIC OF THE FIRST WEEK IN SCHOOLS IS LOVE FOR FORESTS Minister Tekin pointed out that another important issue is the ongoing forest fires, stating, "The first week of the 2025-2026 academic year will be opened with activities related to love for forests and what needs to be done to protect our forests. In this regard, we will also establish a protocol with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to encourage our children to plant trees. We will follow the process of distributing saplings and their transformation into trees together," he said.
"WE HAVE MADE A REGULATION CHANGE REGARDING DRESS CODE" Addressing the changes made in the uniform application in schools, Minister Tekin said, "We have made a regulation change regarding the dress code of our students to prevent financial burden on our parents. We do not want to impose an additional financial burden on our parents. The issue needs to be followed up with sensitivity. There will be no restrictive details such as special signs, prints, and patterns on the clothing. The visual of the designated school uniform will be published on the school's website, and these uniforms cannot be changed before four academic years have passed. It is a priority for us that the uniform is economical, simple, practical, easily obtainable, and in accordance with pedagogical principles. Additionally, students with special health conditions will also be allowed to wear appropriate clothing," he said.
On the other hand, the provincial directors' meeting will continue throughout the day with presentations from unit managers.
