After the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, all educational
institutions at different levels have been connected to the Ministry

Preschool Education: It encloses the education of the
children in the group in the age range of 3-5 who are not in the
period of compulsory basic education. In this context, there are
Nursery Schools either private or under the Ministry of National
Education.
Basic Education: It comprises the education of children in the
6-14 year age group. Eight years of basic education is mandatory
for all Turkish citizens who have reached the age of six. This
level of education is free in public schools. There are also private
schools under the state control.
Secondary Education: It has minimum quadrennial based on
basic education and encloses general, vocational and technical

of individual and societal nature and to motivate them to find
solutions; to equip them with strength and knowledge to
participate in the economic, social and cultural development of
the country and to prepare them, in line with their interests and
