In coordination with the 2026 Higher Education Institutions Exam (YKS), Çan Municipality implemented a series of welfare and support services to facilitate conditions for candidates and reduce family stress in the region.
Çan Municipality's Big Step for Youth Success
With the start of the university entrance exam marathon in Turkey, Çan Municipality in Çanakkale province has once again demonstrated its commitment to the education and welfare of young people. According to reports published by Çanakkale TV, the municipality has developed a comprehensive plan to support candidates during the decisive exam days, including extensive logistical and moral facilities [1].
This initiative, designed to reduce the psychological burden and incidental costs for families, has been implemented across the Çan region since the early hours of this morning, June 14, 2026. Local authorities emphasized that supporting future elites is the top priority of urban management.
Free Transportation and Refreshment Stations
One of the most important parts of this plan is the allocation of a free public transportation fleet for candidates and their companions. According to the official announcement from Çan Municipality, all city buses on routes leading to exam centers are providing services free of charge to prevent traffic congestion and potential delays for candidates [2].
Additionally, special stations titled "Morale Stations" have been set up near the examination halls. At these stations, packages containing bottled water, necessary stationery, and energy snacks are distributed among the candidates. This action not only meets the immediate needs of students but also provides a calm and positive atmosphere before the start of the exam [3].
Mayor's Message and Educational Vision
In a message addressed to candidates and their families, the Mayor of Çan wished success to all participants and emphasized that the municipality will always stand by the students. He noted that this support is not limited to the exam day, and programs for scholarships and educational grants at the university level are also on the agenda [1].
Many parents, speaking to local media, expressed their satisfaction with this municipal action, calling it an effective step toward educational justice and reducing the concerns of underprivileged families. This model is expected to be followed more seriously in other parts of Çanakkale province [2].
Importance of Silence and Urban Order on Exam Day
Alongside welfare services, Çan Municipality has taken strict measures to maintain peace around the examination halls. Any noisy construction operations and the use of car horns near schools have been prohibited, and municipal monitoring teams are constantly patrolling to provide an ideal environment for candidate concentration [3].
