Turkey’s Ministry of National Education held a special session to mark the 100th anniversary of the Talim ve Terbiye Kurulu (Board of Education and Discipline). Chaired by Minister Yusuf Tekin, the session resulted in the unanimous adoption of the “100th Year Decisions,” a five-point roadmap for the future of the national education system.

The decisions emphasize that education is a matter of national security and highlight the importance of protecting independence in culture and language. The Board aims to foster a generation that embraces national and spiritual values while utilizing scientific and skill-based approaches.

Minister Tekin noted that the “Turkey Century Education Model” is already yielding results. He expressed confidence that this model will lead to improved performance in the 2029 PISA assessments. Additionally, during a visit to Malatya, Tekin addressed the historical impact of the February 28 process on vocational education and noted that since 2003, education has consistently received the highest priority in the national budget.
