Minister of National Education Ziya Selçuk got the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine in Arifegazili Primary School located at the Sungurlu district of the Çorum province where the vaccination of education workers began today.

 

"Today, our teachers were vaccinated here in the school but teachers will continue to be vaccinated in related health institutions in the future," said Selçuk, "The Ministry of Health is planning the process based on the vaccination procurement process. The Ministry of National Education has sent the list of 1 million and 259 teachers and other staff working at schools to the Ministry of Health last week. Teachers will be sent a short message to e-Pulse or 2023 in order to receive information about the details of the vaccination calendar. Teachers will be able to make an appointment for the first dose. The same procedure will be valid for the second dose."

Mentioning face to face education which was set to begin on March 1 Minister Selçuk stressed, "Actually, we always work in an effort to start face to face education. Since the beginning of the pandemic, our schools took all required measures according to the standards defined by the Turkish Standards Institute and we will be able to carry out this process comfortably without experiencing any cleaning and hygiene product shortage thanks to the production capacities of our vocational schools and public education centers. Our schools are ready. Almost all of our schools received "My School is Clean" certificate. As we all know, this certificate is approved as a result of external audit. The world has just started vaccinating. Many countries in the World are opening their schools. But no country in the entire World has completed the vaccination of their teachers."
