Turkish Education System

This page will teach you about the Turkish Education System. Read carefully because you will need these when you edit Turkish schools. Also your general knowledge may grow.

The Education
The education in Turkey is much bussier than the American one. Students are 1.5-2 grades forward than the Americans. But, they don’t have time to practice sports and arts and other things, they spend nearly all their times at the classrooms, and they of course have to study much harder. In Turkey you have to go to 4 years primary, (elementary schools don’t exist) 4 years middle and 4 years high school. If their parents want students go to kindergartens, but it is not obligatory.

Public and Private
In Turkey, like in many countries around the world there are both public and private education.

Public
The public education is only provided by the government. Also governmemt doesn’t have any private schools. The public education quality, unlike the US one, is not really good. It is not safe, teachers do not care much about the students and the lesson quality sucks. Only a little,very little, of them are good. The public schools are known as government schools(devlet okulu). In government schools they only teach English as a foreign language. But it is really low quality. Still, many government schools in Turkey need teachers. If you become a teacher and don’t get signed to a private school, you get to teach children in a random public school. There can be both kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools, also universities, that can be public.

Private
