Education Rights and Policies: A Cross-National Comparison

Abstract

This study compares education rights across countries and regions, highlighting similarities and differences in policy approaches and outcomes. Singapore from Asia, Finland from Europe, South Korea from the Far East, and Turkiye were included in the study according to the OECD's education ranking. The right-to-education policies in countries with successful education systems were analyzed to determine their similarities and differences from Turkiye. By considering the laws of these countries, similar and different practices related to the right to education are compared. Within the scope of the research, an overview of the countries' right to education policies, national and regional differences, similarities, international conventions in the right to education policies, and cultural values in the right to education policies were examined and interpreted. The research was qualitative, and a case study, a qualitative research method, was used. Various sources concerning the educational policies of the countries were analyzed in depth. While structuring Turkish education policies, it is assumed that countries such as Singapore, South Korea, and Finland, which are successful in education, can guide the Turkish education policy system from different perspectives and provide new visionary ideas for reinterpreting Turkiye’s right to education.

Eğitim Hakları ve Politikaları: Ülkeler Arası Bir Karşılaştırma

Öz

Bu çalışma, ülkeler ve bölgeler arasında eğitim haklarını karşılaştırmayı, politika yaklaşımlarındaki ve sonuçlarındaki benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, OECD'nin eğitim sıralamasına göre Asya'dan Singapur, Avrupa'dan Finlandiya, Uzak Doğu'dan Güney Kore ve Türkiye yer almıştır. Başarılı eğitim sistemlerine sahip ülkelerdeki eğitim hakkı politikaları, Türkiye'den benzerlik ve farklılıkları belirlemek amacıyla incelenmiştir. Bu ülkelerin yasaları göz önünde bulundurularak, eğitim hakkına ilişkin benzer ve farklı uygulamalar karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında, ülkelerin eğitim hakkı politikalarına genel bir bakış, ulusal ve bölgesel farklılıklar ve benzerlikler, eğitim hakkı politikalarındaki uluslararası sözleşmeler ve kültürel değerler incelenmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma nitel bir çalışmadır ve nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan durum çalışması kullanılmıştır. Ülkelerin eğitim politikalarına ilişkin çeşitli kaynaklar derinlemesine analiz edilmiştir. Türk eğitim politikalarının yapılandırılmasında, eğitimde başarılı olan Singapur, Güney Kore ve Finlandiya gibi ülkelerin politikalarının, Türkiye’nin eğitim hakkı politikasını farklı perspektiflerden yönlendirebileceği ve Türkiye’nin eğitim hakkını yeniden yorumlamak için yeni vizyoner fikirler sağlayabileceği varsayılmıştır.
