The latest shooting has raised concerns about the safety and security of schools in the country, with many questioning how such incidents can be prevented in the future.

The shootings are part of a wider pattern of violence in schools in Turkey, which has seen a number of incidents in recent years. Many have pointed to the need for better mental health support and counselling for students, as well as more effective measures to prevent violence and bullying in schools. The Turkish government has implemented a number of measures aimed at improving school safety, including the introduction of metal detectors and security cameras, but more needs to be done to address the root causes of violence in schools. The fact that both shootings were carried out by ex-students has also highlighted the need for better support and guidance for students who are struggling or have been excluded from school.

The Turkish government has announced plans to increase security at schools and to provide more support and counselling for students, and officials have vowed to do everything in their power to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. The international community has also offered its condolences to the victims and their families, and has called for greater cooperation and action to be taken to prevent school violence.
