Türkiye’s education system is pivotal to the nation’s technological transformation, integrating efforts from public, private, and non-governmental sectors. Key initiatives like the FATİH Project in Education and the EdTech platform Eğitim Bilişim Ağı (EBA) enhance digital literacy and provide essential education resources, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Turkish universities are aligning specialized programs with industry needs, supported by TÜBİTAK programs. Collaborations with Turkish corporations foster practical learning, while NGOs bridge educational divides and improve equity in digital education. Ongoing investment in STEM education, coupled with strengthened international partnerships, will further bolster Türkiye’s position as an emerging global technology powerhouse.
