Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer participated in the Genç Vizyon program broadcast on Ülke TV last night and answered questions regarding the agenda. Among the prominent statements of Özer, there were also answers about whether the teachers and students will go to school until the results are received after the PCR test, and whether there will be a change in LGS.
Asked whether there will be a change in the High School Entrance System (LGS) to be held in June, Özer stated that LGS is a ranking exam. Özer stated that they had said before that citizens and students would not be disturbed by unexpected and unprepared innovations. The Minister underlined that at the LGS, which will be held on June 5, there will be no change in any subject, including the questions and duration issues, compared to 2021.
Will not go to school until the test result is received
Another question directed to Minister Özer is that the teacher and student who took the test with the suspicion of COVID-19 will not go to school until the test results come out. It was about whether to go or not. Özer stated that the Ministry of Health has announced new decisions and that face-to-face education will not be interrupted in any classroom, whether the number of cases is 2 or 3. The continuation of Özer’s statement was as follows:
“Teachers and students whose tests are positive will isolate themselves and will return to school after 7 days. If they do not show any symptoms after 5 days, they will return to school if the test is negative. Teachers and students wait 6-7 hours after having a PCR test. During this time, they will not return to school without receiving a negative test result. We need to make his decision clear.”
In addition to the PCR test, Özer stated that resuming face-to-face education on September 6 was one of the most important decisions taken, and said, “The education that was most affected by the epidemic.” used the phrases. Özer said that even the use of the richest digital platforms cannot replace face-to-face education, and the whole society has seen this.
