"WHERE IS TURKEY HEADED WITH ITS EDUCATION SYSTEM?
Turkey’s responses to globalization, especially in the context of the harmonization discussions with the EU, have been uneven. In the fields of finance, business and commerce, certain aspects of culture such as sports and entertainment and tourism, they have moved with far greater speed than they have in the field of education. In this field, they seem to be especially ill-prepared to face the fact that by 2010, Turkish high school diplomas have to comply with the Lisbon convention so that all member countries of the EU can recognize each other’s school diplomas for the purpose of university entrance. Yet even within the EU, there is not much uniformity regarding educational standards and philosophies. This actually provides Turkey with an opportunity to learn from the experiences of other European countries and distill the best practices to create something of their own."
