Let’s say this would be the” red, green or blue group “. The second group is the blue group, Thursday through Friday, we want to take a break Wednesday and weekend. Why two? We split, if we don’t, we can’t maintain social distance. ” said.

“In case of a positive case with the HES follow-up, I tell all parents, teachers, service drivers, we already get this information instantly. We established such a system, today it was completed. I explain it for the first time. A joint work of the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Health. As for the follow-up of all our parents, if there is a positive case situation in a family, we take precaution with the teacher in the classroom where our son is. So we invited that class to distance education. As soon as we receive information about our son, we will take it to a special room. -We will inform his father, the health institution. There is a required procedure, it will be applied ”.

“My suggestion is, of course, that they send it in because those ages are very critical ages, the ages we call ‘buyer age’. So we need to cut down on the things our kids miss. So they have to deal with education more. I can wait a year, but I still recommend sending them. When they don’t understand the concepts, they have more difficulty in elementary school 1. From that point I recommend “.
Selcuk, “Will two days be enough for first graders in elementary school?” In response to your question, he said that this period will not be enough, but they will support parents and students with the work to be done in the remaining days.

In fact, our aim is that more children get used to it. environment, get them through the adaptation process quickly and meet their teacher. This is our main goal. It is very difficult to connect on screen with someone you see for the first time and do not know. For this reason, primary school is very important 1.

We have a great responsibility and under this responsibility, we must decide very carefully. Our goal is to open them all. “

The corresponding framework is ready. “He shared his knowledge.
