Turkey begins 2026-2027 academic year with new curriculum and regulations

The 2026-2027 academic year in Turkey officially commenced on Monday, September 14, 2026. This new term introduces significant structural changes led by the Ministry of National Education, most notably the expansion of the 'Turkey Century Education Model'. This new curriculum will be implemented in primary grades 1-3, middle school grades 5-7, and high school grades 9-11, while grades 4, 8, and 12 will follow existing programs.

New regulations aim to standardize the educational environment. These include a prohibition on private trial and scanning exams not authorized by the Ministry, and a continued restriction on student mobile phone use in classrooms. Additionally, the Ministry is introducing a mandatory professional apron for teachers to enhance professional identity. To improve communication, parent-teacher meetings will now be scheduled through a formal appointment system.

During an opening ceremony, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan highlighted Turkey's performance in the PISA 2025 report, noting that the country was the only OECD nation to show significant score increases in science, mathematics, and reading skills. Local officials and municipalities across various provinces, including Istanbul, Ankara, and Adana, have also reported the start of the term, with various local support initiatives for students and infrastructure improvements in school zones.
