More than 20 million students in primary and secondary schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) will receive their report cards today and go on summer vacation.
More than 20 million students and nearly 1.2 million teachers in primary and secondary education institutions started classes on September 11, 2023 for the 2023-2024 academic year. The first semester break was held on November 13-17, 2023 and the second semester break was held on April 8-12.
The second semester, which started on February 5, will end today. Students will relieve the fatigue of education after today’s last bell.
In addition, for the first time this year, middle school students will receive newly designed report cards that will include their participation in social activities in addition to their grades.
This year, students with a new course average of 50 who fail at most 3 courses will be able to move to the next grade with responsibility. Students who fail 4 or more subjects in the 9th grade will now have to repeat the grade. The Turkish threshold score for passing a grade has also been raised to 70.
