Istanbul Launches
100 Quran Memorization Courses: A Project to Support Early Childhood

The Governor of Istanbul, Mr.
Davut Gül, announced a plan to launch 100 courses dedicated to teaching
children aged 4 to 6 how to memorize the Quran, as part of a comprehensive
program aimed at enhancing early childhood services and addressing the shortage
of nurseries and kindergartens in the city.

Mr. Gül stated that the courses
will be organized in cooperation with the Turkish Presidency of Religious
Affairs, noting that their educational framework aligns with the curricula used
in kindergartens under the Turkish Ministry of National Education, with a focus
on developing fundamental skills and reinforcing educational values.

As part of a broader plan, the
provincial administration intends to establish 100 new nurseries, which will be
handed over to the Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Services for
management, in addition to building 100 new kindergartens. This will bring the
total number of institutions planned under the initiative to 300 facilities
dedicated to early childhood care and education.

These steps come amid ongoing
investigations into allegations related to one of the nurseries affiliated with
the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, following complaints submitted by
families in the Eyüp Sultan district.

The governor emphasized that the
relevant authorities are reviewing compliance with regulations governing
nursery operations.

The new program aims to
strengthen the educational and social infrastructure for children, providing a
safe environment that combines early care with educational development, thereby
contributing to the advancement of early childhood systems and expanding access
to structured education.
