Türkiye's academic year concludes, 19 million students begin summer break

The conclusion of the academic season will be accompanied by the distribution of report cards to students.

With the end of the school year, students and teachers alike will enjoy a well-deserved break, rejuvenating themselves for the upcoming academic term. The new season is scheduled to commence on September 11, signaling the return of school bells and the start of another year of learning and growth.

However, before fully embracing their summer vacation, millions of students will face the challenge of the two-phased university qualification exams. This weekend, students will put in their best efforts to excel in these exams, paving their way towards higher education opportunities.

The first phase of the university qualification exams is scheduled for June 17 and will see more than 3.5 million individuals participating. The exam will last for a duration of 165 minutes, during which students will strive to showcase their knowledge and skills. The second exam, slated for June 18, will be attempted by approximately 2.5 million students, all vying for entry into one of Türkiye's more than 200 universities.

These exams hold great significance for the students, as they serve as a gateway to pursuing higher education and shaping their future career paths. As they prepare to undertake these crucial assessments, students across the country are putting their efforts into thorough preparation and revision.

The upcoming summer break not only offers a chance for students to relax and recharge but also presents an opportunity for personal growth, exploration, and engagement in various activities beyond the confines of the classroom. It is a time for students to pursue their interests, participate in extracurricular activities, and spend quality time with family and friends.

As the academic year comes to a close and summer vacation begins, Türkiye's education system looks forward to welcoming students back in September for another year of educational endeavors and progress. (ILKHA)
