Selcuk, who was asked if he would send his son to school if he were a parent who attends preschool or elementary school in first grade, noted that this is a social and global issue as well as a family one, saying that he would always prefer to make that decision. based on the data.
Stating that it is very natural for parents to worry about this issue, Selçuk pointed out that the decision of face-to-face education in schools was made for the first grades of preschool and primary education only for two days in order to provide the necessary conditions, minimize risk and keep it at a controlled level.
Recalling that Health Minister Fahrettin Koca formulated education in schools as “2 plus 5 days” after the Scientific Committee Meeting, Selçuk said that they attach great importance to the Scientific Committee’s recommendations and that they make the decisions through consultations.
Referring to the reasons for this decision, Selçuk said: “When you go to school for 2 days and do not go to school for 5 days, those 5 days have a dimension of whether the symptoms appear in the family, the environment, the driver of the bus, the teacher. That’s why it’s 2 plus 5 days for now, but if conditions change, of course there are days. The numbers also change. ” used expressions.
By stating that they do not want to force anyone, this is not just an academic decision, but a psychological and sociological one, Selçuk also emphasized the importance of building trust in parents in this regard.
“OUR SCHOOLS ARE ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE SPACES IN PUBLIC SPACES”
Minister Selçuk stated that schools informed parents about the measures taken, and that approximately 60 thousand first grade teachers in public schools held parent meetings, and drew attention to the fact that almost all European countries opened all classes full time.
“Our schools are one of the most trusted areas in public places. Because there is constant control, disinfection and monitoring ”. Selçuk said they made the decision to open schools in a controlled manner in consultation with health experts.
“FROM MONDAY-TUESDAY WE WANT HALF CLASS TO COME”
Minister of Selcuk, “Face to face what will be the second day of training days? Or is it considered that the same day throughout Turkey will be left to the provinces or the school administrator?” On the question “Basically, we want half the class to attend on Monday and Tuesday. 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.
Noting that the tags are placed so that only one child can sit in double rows, Selçuk said that this way they can easily maintain social distance in the classroom.
Selçuk pointed out that when parents who do not want to send their children to school are taken into account, the number of classes will decrease, “we are confident in the preparation we did in our classes, we are extremely confident in the skills and knowledge of our teachers”. I speak.
In response to the question about the “parental pledge” to be signed by parents who send their children to school, Selçuk said this was misinterpreted in some places, and that the pledge letter never meant “you are responsible for this “for parents.
Ziya Selçuk stated that this is a confirmation form that parents have been informed.
A SYSTEM INSTALLED TO RECEIVE CASE INFORMATION INSTANTLY THROUGH ACCOUNT TRACKING
The Minister of National Education, Selçuk, continued as follows:
“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 ”.
Stating that the distance education option will continue for parents who do not want to send their children to school, and those who want to send their children to school will also approve the form, Selçuk made the following assessments after the question of a parent who was unsure about sending their child to preschool this year, on air:
“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.
Selçuk noted the importance of first-grade primary school students entering the school environment to establish links with their teachers and their schools, and drew attention to the fact that this link will not be formed if children never go to school. the school.
Selçuk said: “Even for two days, we aim to create emotional bonds, socialize and get to know the school environment. Therefore, our aim is not just academic in those two 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 want to involve our children who were in school until March 1 of last year and could not go to school afterwards. It was also unfinished. ” I speak.

The Minister of National Education, Selçuk, responded to the question of when face-to-face education will begin at other levels as follows:
“There will be a re-evaluation on the other classes in a few weeks. There is no timetable, because I do not know the course of the cases. I do not know what the Scientific Committee will say for a month later, they are watching, they do not know now.” It is not very correct to say so . We have a great responsibility and under this responsibility, we must decide very carefully. Our goal is to open them all. ”
Selçuk said that it is currently being considered as a gradual and diluted model for the other stages.

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