According to the information compiled from the 2027 Presidential Annual Program, equal opportunities will be ensured in children's access to quality, universal, free and pre-school education.

In this regard, temporary village kindergarten, kindergarten class at the transportation center, and pre-school education access models at home will be implemented.
STUDIES WILL BE DONE TO REDUCE ABSENTEEISM IN BASIC EDUCATION

A tracking mechanism will be created to monitor students' social and academic skills so that children at risk of dropping out of school remain in the education system and children who drop out of education are returned to the education system.
