Turkish educational reform and industry integration

Overview

Turkey is implementing new educational reforms focused on vocational training and industry integration. National Education Minister Yusuf Tekin has introduced the ‘Project School’ concept, which aims to align vocational high school curricula with the specific needs of industry chambers to improve employment outcomes. This initiative includes government-funded support for internships and on-the-job training to protect students.

Building on these efforts, officials are promoting the ‘Türkiye Yüzyılı Maarif Modeli’ (Century of Türkiye Education Model). This model emphasizes holistic student development through integrated teaching and process-oriented assessments. To support technical advancement, the Ministry of National Education has collaborated with the Presidency of Defence Industries and Turkish Aerospace Industries for summits designed to bridge the gap between education and technology, aiming to develop technical skills alongside moral values.
