Our security measures must be taken before our children come to school. In schools where they are needed, our law enforcement units will be ready at their positions at least half an hour before our students.

We will increase our inspections during school entrance and exit hours and at lunchtime; We will ensure security with a holistic approach at every point, from school environments to transportation routes, from services to abandoned buildings, parks and social areas. We will act in coordination with the relevant units of our Police and Gendarmerie against all risks that may endanger our children, especially peer bullying, violent incidents and drug threats. Because the safety of even a single child cannot be neglected.

"Under the leadership of our esteemed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we will continue to work determinedly by strengthening our preventive measures for the peace of Turkey and the safety of our children."
