Millions of students begin 3-month summer break in Türkiye
The final school bell of the academic year rang across Türkiye on June 26, marking the start of a three-month summer break for approximately 18 million students and 1.2 million teachers.
As pupils received their report cards, senior students of middle schools and high schools also anxiously awaited the results of the nationwide examinations they had taken in recent weeks.
“Dear my students, we have left another academic year behind us. Now, an important period awaits you to rest, recharge and develop yourselves,” Education Minister Yusuf Tekin wrote on X.
In an interview with TRT Haber on June 26, Tekin said that starting from Sept. 14, when the new academic year begins, security measures in schools will be significantly strengthened.
