Turkey has a well-developed system and resources in education. Education is the foundation of a nation and a strong country, so Turkey attaches great importance to education. Turkey’s education system is: two to three years of kindergarten, four years of elementary school, four years of middle school and university.Nursery schools are not part of compulsory education. They are often cheap and a good standard. Due to the 2005 education reform, all three stages of compulsory education can be completed at national schools. Before going to college (or any other institution of higher education), Turkish students must take the entrance exams. The results of these tests determine which schools they are eligible for.2-3 points in some of the entrance exams may mean a four-year undergraduate degree or a two-year education program qualification.

Among them, there are about 85 universities and famous universities including Ankara University, Clamjepthai University, Middle East University of Technology and National University of Korea, which charge very low fees, and admit most of countries high school entrance exam results.
