How Is the "How Many Days Since Schools Opened?" Counter Calculated?
After a 3-month summer vacation, when the first bell of September rings, where students meet their desks with great excitement (and sometimes reluctance), a long marathon begins. As months pass, the curiosity of "How long have I been coming to school? Has half the term finished?" begins. ToolBoxTR Education Day Counter takes the official education calendar announced by the Ministry of National Education (MEB) Central Organization as its basis. The two time periods between the start date in this calendar and the "Today's" date you connected from your phone are subtracted from each other.
Why Are Education Working Days and Holidays Kept Separate?
Our strongest mathematical feature that distinguishes us from an ordinary calendar calculation is that we perform "Filtration." For example, if you entered the system two months (60 days) after schools opened in September, a plain counter tells you "It's been 60 days since schools opened." Yet, within these 60 days, there are also Saturdays and Sundays when you never went to school and slept in the mornings! Our tool algorithmically sifts through and discards all weekends within those 60 days. The result: "The Education Day (Working Day) when you actually left home and went to school."
Is It Used for Private Schools and Study Centers?
As it is known, private high schools, private colleges, and LGS/YKS courses may not follow the state calendar and may carry out "Early registration - Compensation/Acceleration camp" as of the second week of August. Since the calculation shown by our tool on the screen starts according to the state (official curriculum), a 12th-grade student going to the acceleration camp should know that they have studied for about 30 days more than shown in this table.
Attendance Limits and Psychological (Motivation) Planning
Constantly asking the question "What is my nth education day?" is the savior of students looking for the right to be absent in their minds. There is a total of 30 working days of absenteeism right in high school: 10 days unexcused and 20 days excused. If you have reached 80% of the term and your limits are full, this indicator also serves as an academic awakening wall that reminds you that you need to wake up when the alarm rings in the mornings.
