REORGANIZATION, DIFFERENTIATION AND GROWTH IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE CASE OF ISTANBUL (1980-2015)

Abstract

In this article, the world of higher education of İstanbul in thirty-five years of growth in the number of students and institutions, its systemic growth, chaotic change, and structural bifurcation in the early 1980s until the end of 2015 is elaborated. The growth trends in state universities in this period; the onset of education of the foundations of higher education in 1993 and the increasing number of universities triggering a dramatic expansion in terms of students and lecturers in post 2006; the differentiation, and the patterns of differentiation shaped by the distribution of populace in higher education to varied programs are compared. The emergence of higher education foundations and the dramatic increase in their numbers have resulted in an urban upheaval of higher education in terms of scale, structure and institutions. Since more than half of all private universities in Turkey are located in İstanbul, this brings a distinctive change more so than any other city in Turkey. The chaotic change and organizational fracturing in terms of agents, institutions, organizations and dispositions in a thirty-five year period is astonishing. Owing to financial privatization in the last twenty years, in the field of higher education the lines of competence and structural tensions have been crystallized, generating a binary structure consisting of state-owned and private-owned institutions of higher education. The article discusses the growth and the reorganization of this change in a descriptive statistical basis.
