 For these levels of schooling, it will be continued this week, of course, we will follow how the situation is going with the pandemic and for next week the decision will be made depending on what the recommendation from competent organs is, but also in agreement with the DKA of each municipality given the specific circumstances in each of the municipalities. While teaching according to the KKA recommendations is going without obstruction at least until this time when we are holding this conference I take advantage of this opportunity to once again call on all parties involved in the process whether it is school principals, whether parents or particularly teachers, to engage together in trying to help with public health care, physical health and mental health to ensure that we do not even leave any child behind in achieving the desired goals for results in teaching”, she said.

She said that in addition to participating in online learning through different platforms classes from 6-9 all teaching units are broadcast through the official RTK channel and published on the ministry's official website.

As for vaccination of teachers, Nagavci said that this issue would be dealt with as priority, although he did not show when such a thing is expected to happen, said that the advantage for the vaccine will be those who have chronic and are more advanced in years.

This will be handled with priority, respecting recommendations of competent organs in view of priorities related to the inoculation of teachers. Thus, the priority will be those who may be chronically ill, those who are older than they are, and depending on the needs, will be taken into account for the inoculation of the teachers”, Nagavci said.
