Upgrading school infrastructure.

Secretary General of the Union of Turkish Teachers of Cyprus Burak Mavish welcomed the promise of Education Minister Nazim Cavusoglu that school buildings would be repaired and unsafe buildings demolished.

Mavis stated that there are 159 public schools in Northern Cyprus, as well as private schools, kindergartens, rehabilitation centers and universities.

He said that Nazim Cavusoglu's decision to upgrade the infrastructure of schools and demolish unsafe buildings is positive in terms of the safety of the buildings themselves.

Mavish emphasized that new school buildings should be in harmony with the environment, be spacious enough and comply with design standards. He noted that there are visible problems in school buildings in Yenibogazichi, Yeni Erenkoy, Dikmen, Degirmenlik and Karakum. All schools must be earthquake-resistant buildings and comply with all building codes and standards.
