After the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes, serious destruction took place in 11 provinces.
After the demolitions, the eyes were turned to the damages and deficiencies in the destroyed buildings. Expressing that the rules of science are drawn in the discussions about the buildings destroyed in the earthquakes, Hamdi Sürücü, Chairman of the Conscious Teachers Association (ÖĞ-DER), stated that one side is always overlooked in the discussions,
"No one talked about who would comply with science, who would apply the rules of science and how. It has always been forgotten or tried to be forgotten that science alone would not be a solution without human beings," Sürücü said.
“IN THIS SYSTEM, THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IS ALSO UNDER THE RUBBLE”
Reminding that the earthquake cannot be prevented, Sürücü stated that the earthquake can be prevented from turning into a disaster.
"It is about raising people who do not change the rules according to their own interests and do not shape them according to their own interests. In our country, the contractors, engineers, control officers, those who make the zoning plans, the politicians who open the places that should not be opened for zoning and allow settlement are also people who have been trained in this education system. These are people who have received a diploma from the education system. All of them grew up in this education system. Our education system, which was shaped according to EU norms, was also under the rubble," Sürücü added.
"LET'S REVIEW OUR IRRESPONSIBILITIES"
Stating that the reason for the collapse of the buildings destroyed in the earthquake was not actually the earthquake, Sürücü stated that irresponsibility should be reviewed in any case.
"Instead of honest, moral, God-fearing individuals from the education designed with the EU acquis, the focus of life was to earn a lot, to live in luxury, and for this, the earthquake did not destroy the buildings that were destroyed in the earthquake. Contractors who did not do their duty properly, who were not honest with the ambition of earning a lot, engineers who did not control, municipalities that gave licenses there, and governorships that did not have them checked were destroyed. Let's review our irresponsibility instead of calling it the disaster of the century and putting the responsibility on Allah. There was an earthquake in Turkey yesterday, and it will happen tomorrow. If we still do not take precautions despite all these earthquakes, if we cannot build solid buildings on solid ground, we are responsible. It is human beings who turn an earthquake into a disaster," Sürücü stated.
“LET'S UPDATE THE EDUCATION SYSTEM, GROWTH APPLY THE RULES OF SCIENCE”
Driver, who made a call to change the education system, stated that a human-oriented education system should be implemented.
"Let's redesign not only the buildings but also our education system with a focus on raising people. Let's organize our education system and curricula in order to raise people with superior morals, justice, compassion, and honest people who don't give up their rights. Let's raise people with good morals, justice and mercy; apply the rules of science well, earthquakes do not turn into disasters," Sürücü said.
