This story is from 20 September 2026.

The 15-classroom building of Ayser Çalık Secondary School in Onikişubat will serve as the District Directorate of National Education by decision of the Kahramanmaraş Governorship. In the armed attack on April 15, one teacher and nine students were killed and 15 students were injured; students continue their education at another school.

The facility that will operate in the building where the 9 students who died in an attack carried out by a child on April 15 had been treated had not opened in the 2026-2027 school year. At the parents' request, the closed school's students were transferred to Şehit Tebernuş Özler Middle School. Its new designated use was finalized by a decision of the Turkish provincial governor's office.
