Last Minute Update: Changes to School Hours Announced by Istanbul Governorship
Last Minute School Hour Statement from Istanbul Governorship
As thousands of students prepare to start their first lesson of the new academic year on Monday, September 9, 2024, the Istanbul Governorship has announced a series of measures to tackle potential traffic congestion that may arise with the opening of schools. In a recent statement, the Governorship shared the measures taken and provided information regarding school hours for the upcoming academic year.
According to the statement released by the Istanbul Governorship, the 2024-2025 Academic Year will commence on Monday, September 9, 2024. A total of 2,685 students will begin their education in public and private schools across Istanbul, with 715,835 of these students starting their education in new schools for the first time. With the influx of students returning to school, more than 16 thousand student shuttles are expected to be on the roads, which could lead to traffic congestion in the city.
To address this issue, it has been decided that education will take place between 10:00 and 15:00 on Monday, September 9, 2024, when schools reopen in Istanbul. This decision aims to minimize traffic disruptions caused by the shuttles and parents commuting to schools during the first few days of the academic year.
Parents, students, and school staff are advised to take note of these changes in school hours to ensure a smooth start to the new academic year. Stay updated with the latest information and guidelines from the Istanbul Governorship for a successful academic year ahead.
