Famagusta Municipality Preparing Schools For New Academic Year

Famagusta Municipality is carrying out general cleaning, health and pruning work covering all schools throughout the city before the 2024-2025 academic year. It is aimed that students start their education in a clean and safe environment by carrying out general maintenance, cleaning work, spraying, and tree pruning works in all schools. In addition, work is being done on traffic safety around the school.

In all of our 23 schools in Famagusta, the painting work was covered by our municipality. A total of 136 water tanks in our schools were cleaned and disinfected, and water tanks were renewed when necessary. The Park and Garden Unit continues the pruning and hedge mowing of all schools, our Cleaning Unit continues its activities related to weed cleaning and cleaning of schools, and our Health Unit continues to disinfect all schools against pests and disinfect classrooms and school common areas.

In line with the services we provide to our schools:

A new gazebo is being built at Famagusta Turkish Maarif College, its workmanship has been undertaken by the municipality, woodwork and other iron works are still ongoing. All paint works of Doctor Fazıl Küçük Industrial and Vocational High School were carried out by our municipal teams.

Preparing 23 schools

Mayor Uluçay said that they have been working intensively for 23 schools since the first day they took office, and that they aim to start the new academic year in safe and healthy conditions for children with many studies. Uluçay stated that although the Ministry of Education is responsible for the schools, they continue to work hard with the awareness that all the children who go to the schools are our children.

Stating that they have started to repaint all the pedestrian crossings in front of our schools, and that municipalities are obliged to spend 15% of the property taxes they collect on education in accordance with the law, Uluçay said, “We transfer all of the income we earn from here to GMTMK to the sports activity areas to be built in memory of the Champion Angels.

We provide all the services mentioned above not from property taxes, but with the own resources of our municipality.” Uluçay thanked the responsible persons and all team members who made serious efforts in all these works.
