Explaining that education will start in the region, Özer said, “As of now, we have completed all our preparations for the start of education on September 6 in Kastamonu, Sinop and Bartın.

Expressing that the experts of the ministry are working in the region, Özer continued as follows:
“All our specialists and psychosocial support specialists working under the General Directorate of Special Education and Guidance get in touch with our parents in the field and meet with our students. On the one hand, they manage the process in coordination with AFAD and the Ministry of Interior in order to heal the wounds of physical damages, on the other hand, to cover the psychosocial damages. We have opened all our hostels to our parents who have problems with their homes. They stay in our hostels free of charge, and they can eat their meals at the same time. Our Ministry has completed all the processes related to the repair or demolition of existing schools. We made the necessary plans and transferred all the resources to Kastamonu, Sinop and Bartın.”
Underlining that there are no problems with preparing for the new education and training process, Özer said, “All of our friends are in the process. Hopefully, the planned process will work until September 6th and we will start hosting our students in our schools without experiencing any further trauma. We will make a different plan for our students here. We will have additional measures in the first weeks for our children who have not survived the trauma. Our friends continue their preparations.” he used his words.
Thanking the teachers who took part in the process, Özer said, “Not only in Kastamonu, Bartın or Sinop, but also in Antalya and Muğla in the fire disaster, they went to the field, disregarding the situation of their families, and fulfilled the task given to them self-sacrificingly in cooperation with our governorships. I am proud of all of them. I would like to thank all our teachers who took part in both flood and fire disasters.” said.
Minister Özer also thanked the Minister of Interior Süleyman Soylu and bureaucrats who have provided coordination since the beginning of the process.
