A severe earthquake has caused significant damage to the education infrastructure in the affected region, rendering numerous buildings unusable. Over the past 20 months, the steps taken to improve educational services in this area have become a topic of concern.
Inquiries from Member of Parliament Cem Avşar directed toward the Minister of National Education, Yusuf Tekin, have highlighted the pressing issues within the education sector. Avşar seeks to find out how many students are currently continuing their education in temporary settings such as containers and tents, reflecting the severe deficiencies in schooling facilities post-disaster.
Information about the status of schools that sustained damage is also being sought. Questions have been raised regarding how many damaged schools have been reinforced and reopened, as well as how many new schools have been built. These inquiries aim to assess the sustainability of educational services in the region.
The concerns brought forth by Cem Avşar emphasize the critical importance of monitoring the progress and developments in overcoming the physical infrastructure shortcomings in the education sector following the earthquake. Resolving these issues is deemed crucial for the future success of students in the affected areas.
