“INCREASE NUMBERS BUT THE PRIORITY IS THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION”
Commenting on the election results to our newspaper, the Chairman of the Conscious Teachers Association (ÖĞ-DER), Hamdi Sürücü, stated that the priority should be given to the quality of education.
"Increasing numbers is good, but the priority should be the quality of education. The increase in vocational high schools is important, but practical education has left its place to theoretical education. Although the preferences of project schools have increased in Anatolian imam hatip high schools, it should be considered whether they are preferred only because of the project or as imam hatip. It is important whether it brings the morality and spirituality that imam hatip high schools should bring," Sürücü added.
