Secondary education in Turkey for international students

Preschool education is also a mandatory step for a young student of 3-5 years. Pre-school education fully prepares young students for further education, develops academic skills, attentiveness and perseverance. Lessons are held mainly in a playful, interesting form that helps to keep students' attention and make studying more interesting.

Public schools provide high-quality, compulsory and free education. It is also possible to enroll in one of the private schools. The generality, unity of the primary school curriculum is especially convenient for children who change their place of residence: when they enter a new school, it's quite easy to adapt to the learning process and do not miss useful blocks.

As already mentioned, in addition to state-owned, there is a large number of private schools in the country. As in primary schools in UK, studies in private primary schools in Turkey are often conducted in English. In Antalya there are primary schools, where foreign students can get high-quality education, and in-depth study of Turkish and English as a foreign language:

• International Russian School (Gyuzel Oba)
• International College of Tourism (at the Academy of Tourism)
• Russian School at the Academy of Tourism of Antalya (Lara ).

Secondary school implies three-year studying plus 4 years of professional technical preparation in specialized colleges. Most secondary schools are state-owned, and education can be obtained free of charge. After the 12th grade each student passes the National Exam: it helps to identify the level of knowledge and skills, determines the chances of successful admission to the chosen university.
