After Mehmet, Ecem from Bursa took the stage:


Education of children is an important issue in Turkey. Education is free for every child and compulsory for 12 years. Textbooks are printed free of charge by the state at the beginning of the year and distributed to each student. During the distance education process, tablets were distributed to those whose financial situation was not good, and they were allowed to attend the classes. TV channels were established for distance education. lecture videos were posted there. With the EBA system, the development of students was supported by homework and activities. After the distance education, the students were supported psychologically and academically by making make-up studies. Support service was provided for 2 months to increase our psychological resilience. Support was given to students who were not ready for school. There are free courses after classes to increase success. There are courses in sports and arts so that we can develop our talents and interests. Students benefit from free or discounted services such as museums, exhibitions, sports events and courses. Every student can go to a school close to home. If there is no school close to your home, the state also provides school transportation service. Refugee children also benefit from the right to education free of charge and have the opportunity to develop themselves. They can find what they need in the education system, especially in Turkish education. Scholarships are also provided by the state in order to support the education of students whose financial situation is insufficient. There are special education schools and support education classes for students who need special education. They can also get the training that suits their needs completely free of charge.
