Kaya noted that they had held meetings with school principals ahead of the 2026–2027 school year and stated that educational administrators had been provided with the necessary information regarding the circulars and new policies issued by the Ministry of National Education.
Kaya noted that school principals also held meetings with teachers to convey the regulations that would be implemented in the new term, adding that these measures were put into effect as the academic year began.
There will be no requirement to purchase uniforms from a specific store
Noting that school uniforms were one of the key aspects of the new policy, Kaya said that the intention was not to direct parents to a single store for purchasing uniforms.
Kaya stated that the Ministry’s fundamental approach in the regulation is to avoid straining parents’ budgets, adding that students will be able to purchase their school uniforms not only from stores that specialize in school uniforms but also from various other stores of their choice.
“Our Ministry’s goal here is for everyone—every parent—to be able to find the clothing they want, in the way they want, and from the store of their choice, without incurring additional costs or spending too much money, and from a place that fits their budget,” said Kaya, noting that the policy will be implemented in line with this understanding.
School Emblems May Be Used
Noting that schools may also use their own emblems, Kaya said that in schools where the emblem policy is in place, parents can obtain these emblems through school parent-teacher associations or relevant channels.
Kaya noted that various new regulations will also be implemented in the upcoming school year and expressed their goal of ensuring a successful and productive school year with the support of parents and parent-teacher associations.
