Thessaloniki Graduate Teachers Association: Protecting our schools is protecting our future
The management of Rhodope-Meriç (Evros) Provinces Thessaloniki Private Pedagogical Academy Graduated Teachers Association made a statement about the registration of the new academic year.
Emphasizing that protecting minority schools means protecting the future of minority society and that no one should forget this, the management of the association stated in a statement that parents should choose their own minority schools by acting consciously and correctly during the registration period for the new school year:
"Primary school is not only an institution where a student learns to read and write, but also a place where social values are reinforced.
In addition, the school is an important structure where the student not only learns their own traditions and customs and socializes, but also learns their culture and religion.
Not only to learn them; at the same time, it is an important institution that it has assimilated by living. It is the place where family-based knowledge is built on and consolidated and made permanent in a more regular and comprehensive way.
In minority schools, while the student continues his/her mother tongue education, he/she also builds on this and enables them to learn the second official language more easily.
Scientific studies also reflect this. Considering this fact, by enrolling our children, who are our future, in minority schools, we will not only make their education life easier, but also provide them with a great advantage and gain.
No one should forget that protecting our schools means protecting our future.
To protect our schools that can keep up with the needs of the new age and offer all innovations; It will be a response to negative perceptions.
In this context, within the framework of the above-mentioned values, we would like our esteemed parents, who will enroll their children in the first grade of primary school in the next academic year, to act more sensitively and to prefer Minority Schools."
