YKS and New Curriculum Statement from Minister Tekin

Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin visited Demirören Media and Technology Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, which is the pilot school in the "Let Us Be Informed" project.

Tekin, who was the guest of the bulletin prepared and presented by the students in the studio environment, answered the questions posed by the young people in the program published on the Education Information Network (EBA), EBA YouTube, TRT EBA and the Ministry's social media accounts.

Tekin stated that the new curriculum is currently being implemented in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades in primary schools, 5th, 6th and 7th grades in secondary schools, and 9th, 10th and 11th grades in high schools.

"GAMES WILL BECOME A PART OF THE EDUCATION PROCESS"

Stating that they focused especially on "game" this year, Tekin emphasized that they turned children's games into an instrument that they can use in terms of education and training, along with many parameters.

Tekin reminded that they prepared and published a policy document in schools to explain the logic, what they focus on, and how these games will be a part of education.

"WHAT KIND OF YKS WAITS FOR US NEXT YEAR?"

Students asked, "What kind of YKS awaits us next year?" In response to the question, Tekin stated that they saw that false, inaccurate and malevolent news was widely spread on this issue.

Stating that he receives questions from students at every school he goes to, Tekin stated that there will be no change in the exam questions for students going to 12th grade this year, and that questions will be asked according to the new curriculum for the first time in the next academic year.

Minister Tekin said:

"This year, 11th graders, there is only one thing that changes when you move to 12th grade. I will ask questions from your curriculum. Nothing else changes. MEBI and EBA have enough preparation material for both university entrance and high school transition exams. The only thing that will change is that his curriculum was different, your curriculum is different. Some of the questions we asked him will not be in your curriculum. Neither the system nor the procedure of the exam will change. There is no change. We were asking from the curriculum every year, now we will ask from your curriculum."
