Education in Turkey

Türkiye's recent nationwide university entrance exam results reveal an overwhelming interest in the fields of artificial intelligence, digitalization and big data.

Out of 1.2 million university placements available for such departments, 987,000 were filled, underscoring a shift toward technology-focused programs.

Turkish education authorities have organized a repeat session of Türkiye's university entrance exam for eight students in the central province of Sivas, marking a historic first for the country.

Over 1 million eighth-grade students on June 2 exerted themselves for nearly three hours to achieve high scores in a nationwide high school entrance exam.

More than 3 million candidates have applied for the upcoming university entrance exams in Türkiye, the head of the Measurement, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) announced on March 12.

Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) in order to conduct examinations more efficiently and streamline the process.

In a bid to secure smoother entry into Turkish universities, a notable number of dual citizens are opting to renounce their Turkish citizenships, strategically bypassing the fiercely competitive Higher Education Institutions Examination (YKS) in favor of the comparatively simpler Foreign Student Admission Examination (YÖS).

A record-breaking number of people have applied for the university entrance exam, which will be held on June 17-18, while the oldest candidate is 89 years old, and the youngest one is aged 15, the country's top exam body head Ali Ersoy has said.

A record 3.5 million candidates have applied for the university entrance exams slated for June 17-18, Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) has announced.

Following the reopening of schools in many districts in the quake zone, a decision has been taken to also conduct university entrance exams in the southern quake-hit provinces of Hatay, Malatya, Kahramanmaraş and Adıyaman, Student Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM) President Bayram Ali Ersoy has announced.

Universities that continue education remotely after the Feb. 6 earthquakes will switch to face-to-face education as of April 3, Council of Higher Education (YÖK) President Erol Özvar has announced.

There will be no attendance requirement for students, while educational institutions will also provide online access to the content of the face-to-face courses.
