Till now, 1 million families benefited from the Family School project which has been carried out by the Ministry of National Education in line with the Ministry's goal to give guidance about relations between the family members, home management and management of children's behaviors.

 

Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer stated that the Family School Project has been carried out in 81 cities of the country adding that, "We are providing multi-dimensional support to families by organizing training programs about various different subjects such as social skills, management of communication among family members and effective communication, use of technology, moral development, stress management, healthy diet, environment and first aid.  We will add four new subjects to the ongoing ten different training programs. Families stated that their communication with their children improved after they attended the training programs and they learned how to support their children."

 

Özer noted that the project was initiated on August 12, 2022 with a ceremony that was attended by President Erdoğan's spouse Emine Erdoğan and implemented in 81 cities of the country.

 

"We continue to give multi-dimensional support to families by organizing training programs in 1,000 public education centers in the entire country. Within this context, we are happy that we have reached 1 million families till now," said Özer.

 

"From now on, we will stand by families more during all the processes" stated Özer, "We will keep updating training programs. We will also include family law, family in Turkish literature, personal development and cultural awareness, parent behavior and pediatric development training programs to the family school project schedule. Family institute is very important. We will support multi-dimensional success of schools as long as we reinforce family structure and put family to the center. As a result, our society will become more resilient. Education is not limited with only at schools but it also involves the factors in the family and communication among family members. Training programs provided the families the opportunity to establish stronger communication with their children and control their technology addiction. These training programs also reinforce cultural values, moral values, social development in the family, effective communication and awareness about psychological development."
