  • About Issa Turkey
    ABOUT ISSA TURKEY Education In Turkey 1 2 www.issa.org.tr ABOUT ISSA TURKEY PREFACE The foremost indicator of the internationalization of the universities around the world includes the number of the foreign students they teach, and the countries from which these come. Furthermore, every youth would like to study in a university giving the best education at international standards. Seeking after knowledge at the best and farthest institution has been a common rule throughout history. Throughout history, particularly in the Islam culture, many scholars had gone to various realms cradling science and wisdom, and been taught far away from their countries. Having risen in the last century, the number of students worldwide has reached above 5 million worldwide. Besides, this has become a major service sector for all countries in socio-cultural and economical terms, having reached to an annual economical volume of $ 100 billion. Anatolia has been a center of education and science thanks to the scientist it has brought up, its history, its nature, and its geopolitical location at the intersection of three continents. Today, Turkey, too, is an educational center in its territory with its nearly 200 universities, and more than 100 hundred thousand students coming from 95 counties. Students prefer Turkey due to the particular reasons mentioned below. Turkey is a modern Muslim country being governed by Republican regime. Turkey is a country with a thriving economy, alongside its historical, climatic, and natural beauties. Turkish universities accommodate all departments in Turkey with numerous alternatives. While Turkish universities in general are at European standards, not only the private universities are cheaper than those in Europe, it is also way cheaper to study in the state universities, and even for free in some of them.
