- Continuity of education is of great importance in society. Closing schools can only be considered in cases where community transmission cannot be contained. When national publications and guidelines on education are examined in the world, it has been observed that schools do not constitute a center for public transmission and do not increase the risk of transmission in the country. When the studies and guidelines were examined, it was deemed appropriate to open the special education, preschool, primary and secondary education 202-2022 Academic Year full-time within the scope of the following measures.
Each school is obliged to create a “School Pandemic Board”. This board will work in coordination with the Ministry of Health and will consist of at least 2 people. (2 persons up to 250 students, +1 person for every 250 students) The contact information of the responsible board must be forwarded to the Ministry of Health.
