Abstract

Türkiye son 20 yılda eğitime erişimi artırmak ve eğitimde fırsat eşitliğini güçlendirmek için eğitim sisteminde devasa bir dönüşümü gerçekleştirmiştir. Eğitimin tüm kademelerinde okullaşma oranlarını %99 ve üzerine çıkartırken aynı zamanda kaliteli bir büyümeyi başarmıştır. Türkiye’nin bu eğitim hikâyesi diğer ülkeler için de oldukça ilham verici olup önemli bir örneklik oluşturmaktadır. Nitekim
birçok ülkenin nüfusundan büyük olan öğrenci ve öğretmen sayısına rağmen atılan adımların kararlılıkla sürdürülmesi bu dönüşümü mümkün kılmıştır. OECD yayınladığı ‘Taking stock of education reforms for access and quality in Türkiye’ başlıklı son raporunda bu dönüşümün bir değerlendirmesini yapmıştır. Raporda ilgili dönüşüm uluslararası ölçütler çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiş ve dönüşüme neden olan adımlar ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada ise raporun genel bir değerlendirmesi yapılmakta ve raporun eksik bıraktığı alanlara yer verilmektedir.

An Evaluation of the Transformation in the Turkish Education System in the Last Twenty Years Based on the OECD Report “Taking Stock of Education Reforms for Access and Quality in Türkiye”

Abstract

In the last two decades, Türkiye has made significant advancements in its education system to increase access to education and improve equality of opportunity. In addition to increasing the schooling rate to 99% and above at all levels of education, a quality growth was achieved as well. Moreover, the growth and improvement of the Turkish educational system provides a great deal of inspiration and insight to other countries. Despite the number of students and teachers, which exceeds the population of many countries, the persistence of the steps taken has enabled this transformation to occur. The OECD evaluated this transformation in its latest report entitled ‘Taking stock of education reforms for access and quality in Türkiye’. The report examines the steps that led to the relevant transformation within the framework of international criteria. This study provides a general examination of the report and identifies the areas that need to be addressed.
