All schools switched to long-distance learning

By Rukshana | Project Volunteer

Turkish Presidential Spokesman Ibrahim Kaln announced that elementary and secondary schools in Turkey will go on an early spring break for a week on March 16, while universities will be closed for three weeks to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

“Starting March 23, all students will receive online education through the internet and TV,” Kaln said, adding that the education minister will announce further details on the distance learning program for elementary and high school students.

Universities will be suspended as of March 16 for three weeks and will also use the distance learning program, Kaln said.

We have ceased all live trainings in Turkey at this time. We are monitoring if truly all girls are getting access to this long-distance learning and in what ways we can support and supplement government initiatives, while following best health and safety practices.

In the meanwhile, please continue to support this great cause and this project which will continue as soon as safety permits.
