The number one interlocutor of the subject, Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin, made statements on the subject today. Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Minister Tekin made remarkable evaluations.
If you’re following the agenda, you’ve probably seen news about the use of phones in schools for a few days. The Minister of National Education made statements that put an end to these discussions. Minister Tekin said that neither students nor teachers can enter the classrooms by phone. According to Yusuf Tekin, the reason why teachers will not enter the classrooms with their phones is not to set a bad example.
Insist on staying in class
One of the issues that have been talked about for a while about education is that class repetition and attendance obligation will come back this year. Minister Tekin stated that they are insistent on this issue. Minister Tekin’s statement about grade repetition and attendance was as follows:
No compulsory registration fee in private schools!

Saying that the citizens should pay attention to this, Tekin said that they will act against possible coercion. Yusuf Tekin stated that another issue they discussed with private schools was the service and meal fees, and said that they received a guarantee that there would be no increases that would disturb the public.
