'Turkish schools abroad are successfully representing our country'

Environment and Urban Planning Minister Erdogan Bayraktar said Turkish schools abroad are successfully representing Turkey. As officially reported by the ministry, the minister Bayraktar visited Rainbow International Turkish School in South Korea capital, Seoul.

Bayraktar who was greeted with bunches of roses upon his arrival at the school noted that he visits Turkish schools without fail during his visits abroad. He said he wholeheartedly appreciates the volunteers of education serving miles away from home. “These schools are successfully representing our country abroad. They are going to be appreciated better in the future” said Bayraktar. Having presented a vase as a gift to his fellow townsman Esraf Saglam, the general manager of Rainbow International Schools, Bayraktar took a school tour to see the classrooms and labs. The school is currently home to 65 students from diverse nations, as Esref Saglam noted.
