MP Baran speaks on the recent developments regarding the new school building to GÜNDEM
In this article, Independent MP for Xanthi Burhan Baran evaluates the recent developments regarding the new school building for the Xanthi Minority Middle and High School. Baran emphasizes that the issue is not just about a new building, but a broader matter that concerns the entire province, its minority students, and the future of the community.
Here are the key points raised by Baran:
Inadequacy of the Current Building: The current school building is an old tobacco warehouse, which is both physically outdated and far from meeting the needs of a modern school. Baran stresses that this situation endangers students' education and safety, as the building does not provide the required facilities for a proper learning environment.
Community Support: Baran acknowledges that the minority community has taken ownership of the school despite the challenging circumstances. However, he argues that it is now time for the government to step in and provide a new building that meets modern standards.
Government's Attitude: Baran criticizes the authorities for their indifference to the situation. He insists that ignoring the problem is tantamount to punishing the children, as it deprives them of their right to a safe and adequate education. He calls for a more serious and sincere approach from the government.
Need for Immediate Action: Baran calls on the government to address the issue immediately. He emphasizes that the continued neglect of the issue means the government is failing to fulfill its responsibility to provide an appropriate education for minority children.
Baran's statement highlights that education is a fundamental right, and ensuring that children have access to proper educational facilities is a key duty of the state. He calls for the issue to be resolved promptly, without political interference, and stresses that the government must act in the best interest of the children and their future.
