Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision to switch to online education in educational institutions in the past, pre-school education institutions such as kindergartens and kindergartens have also suspended face-to-face education; some private pre-school education institutions continued to provide education online.
However, Nazlı Kesti, a lawyer living in Adana, who argues that this education is insufficient, made a request from the private kindergarten, where she sent her child, to return the money she gave to online education. After the nursery refused this request, Kesti took the case to the judiciary.
Critical decision from the court on behalf of all preschool education institutions
Kesti, who sent her 3.5-year-old child to a private kindergarten before the COVID-19 pandemic, said that the kindergarten, which took a break from face-to-face education during the epidemic period and started to provide online education for only 10 minutes every weekday under the name of online education, started to allow young students aged 3 to 3.5 to attend classes. He realized that he wasn’t getting enough attention.
The Kesti family, who thought that the lessons were inefficient and that they gave money for nothing, asked the nursery school to refund the fee they paid. Nazlı Kesti, who applied to the Seyhan District Governor’s Office of the District Arbitration Committee after the school rejected these demands, was also rejected.
Thereupon, Kesti, who brought the case to the judiciary and filed a lawsuit in Adana 3rd Consumer Court, finally achieved what she wanted. The court, which decided the case, made a critical decision for all pre-school institutions that provide online education, saying “Preschool education should be done face to face” and decided to return the money given to online preschool education.
