Making an assessment on the subject, Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer emphasized that the most permanent and sustainable resource of a country is human capital and said: “The most important instrument in increasing the quality of human capital is education. Therefore, all countries undertake very important projects related to schooling the entire education age population in order to compete with other countries.
Enrollment rates in all education levels exceeded 90 percent
When we look at Turkey, we see that the enrollment rates, especially in pre-school, secondary and higher education, were below 2000 percent in the early 50s. In the last two decades, our education system has witnessed a huge transformation with the education policies implemented to support the participation of families with disadvantaged socioeconomic levels in education in order to increase schooling rates on the one hand, and to mobilize schools and classrooms in all provinces and districts on the other. Enrollment rates in all education levels, from pre-school to secondary education, have exceeded 90 percent.”
Providing information on the schooling rates in the 2000s, Minister Özer said, “For example, the schooling rate for five-year-olds was 11 percent, but today it has reached 95 percent. Again, the schooling rate in secondary education increased from 44 percent to 95 percent. On the other hand, enrollment rates in primary and secondary schools approached 100 percent. For example, as of today, the enrollment rate in primary schools has reached 99,63 percent, while the enrollment rates in secondary schools have reached 99,44 percent. In other words, when compared to the 2000s in the last two decades, enrollment rates at all levels of education have exceeded 95 percent for the first time.” used the phrases.
Girls who win the process
"The most important winners of this process are our girls." Minister Özer said, “There was a very serious increase in the schooling rates of our girls. For example, while the schooling rate of girls in secondary education in the 2000s was 39 percent, it reached 95 percent today. On the other hand, there was no problem with the schooling of our girls in primary and secondary school levels, and for the first time the first time twenty years, the problem of the schooling of girls in this country was solved. ” made its assessment.
