New school rules introduced in Alanya from 14 September
The Turkish Ministry of Education has issued a new circular for the 2026-2027 academic year, which introduces significant changes for schools in Alanya.
From 14 September, pupils, parents, and teachers will be affected by updated rules concerning various aspects of school life.
This development is particularly relevant for foreign residents in Alanya who have children in local schools, as it impacts the daily lives and planning of many families.
The new guidelines will introduce specific rules related to the use of mobile phones on school premises.
This is an area that often generates debate and may require adjustments from both pupils and parents.
In addition, procedures for parental meetings with school staff will be established or revised, which may influence communication between home and school. Furthermore, the circular addresses the introduction of trial exams (deneme sınavları), which are crucial for pupils' assessment and preparation for future examinations.
Another key area of change concerns registration fees (kayıt ücretleri), an important practical detail for families enrolling their children for the upcoming academic year.
These are financial aspects that directly affect parents' budgets.
For foreign residents and families planning to move to Alanya, these updates highlight the importance of staying informed about local educational policies.
The new rules could potentially impact daily routines, communication with schools, and financial planning related to schooling.
Being prepared for these changes can contribute to a smoother transition. It is recommended that all affected parents and pupils in Alanya thoroughly familiarise themselves with the detailed circular from the Ministry of Education.
Further information regarding the specific implementation of these rules will be available via local school administrations as the new term approaches.
Please feel free to contact your school directly for any clarifications.
