Two New Statements for LGS from MEB

Two new measures were taken to protect students' health in the central examination to be held within the scope of the High School Transition System (LGS) on June 20, 2020. The question booklets received by students 1 hour after the exam in previous years will be returned to students on Monday, June 22, to eliminate the possibility of violating social distance this year, causing confusion. In addition, examiners who distribute question booklets and answer keys will use surgical gloves.

Two new measures were decided to be put into practice in order to make the central exam to be held under LGS in a healthy way.

The first of these measures is about the delivery of the question booklets to the students… The question booklets given to the students 1 hour after the end of the exam in the past years will be distributed to the students who want to avoid the possible density this year, starting on Monday, 22 June.

As a second precaution, it was decided to use surgical gloves by examiners while question booklet and answer keys were distributed in the examination halls.

Minister of National Education Ziya Selçuk stated that every precaution has been taken to make the exam safe for health.

We do the cleaning and disinfection of all school buildings where the exam will be held. As we have announced before, we will disinfect the hands of our students and distribute free masks at school entrances on the exam day. We have now decided to implement two more measures regarding the examination process. Accordingly, we will not distribute the question booklets after the exam in order not to cause a mess that will eliminate the social distance after the exam. If our parents want, they can get their children's question booklets from schools as of Monday, June 22, 2020. In addition, question booklets and answer keys will be distributed and collected using surgical gloves to prevent examiners from touching the exam documents by hand. Our friends review the process over and over again. If there is any other necessary measure, we will immediately take the decision and share it with the public. May all our families and children rest in peace. All units of our ministry are following the process closely.
