The Antalya Governor's Office announced that public and private schools in Aksu, Döşemealtı, Konyaaltı, Kepez, Manavgat, Muratpaşa and Serik will provide remote education on November 11-12 due to the COP31 Climate Summit. Women public employees in these districts who have children in preschool or primary school will be considered on administrative leave.

The Antalya Governor's Office announced new measures due to the 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), which will be held in the city from November 9 to 20. Under the governor's directive, all public and private schools in the districts of Aksu, Döşemealtı, Konyaaltı, Kepez, Manavgat, Muratpaşa and Serik will provide remote education on November 11-12.
