Turkey Education has undergone many changes. There were many religious schools in Turkey. Secular schools were set up under the contemporary
Turkey Education system which was established in 1924. Elementary school attendance was made compulsory. Since 1980s all children have been enrolled in school.
The
Turkey Public Education system is divided into five stages: preschool, primary, middle, high school and university. Preschool system is only preferred in the big cities. Primary school encompasses a five year program. The middle education program is coeducational as well. High school education is encouraged by restricting youth employments.
