Özet:

Immigrant families are struggling to adapt to the social and cultural structure of the country where they migrate. But children must adapt not only to the new social and cultural structure, but also to the school system. Therefore, schools play a key role in adapting refugee children from different social and cultural structures to the new social and cultural life. This research aims to reveal the problems in the educational process according to the opinions of foreign high school students. The research was done by the quality method and the state study approach. The data was obtained from semi-configured conversations with twenty foreign students in four high schools using the measurement sampling method. The research data was analyzed using the visual analysis technique. According to the data obtained, foreign citizens are faced with problems such as the lack of knowledge of Turkish during the first registration at school, the lack of a person to translate and guide them, the lack of courses related to Turkish learning and the lack of necessary support in this regard. They think that there is no obstacle in their participation in the activities in schools, that they are excluded by their Turkish friends at the time they first came, but that they have become Turkish friends over time, that they are often discriminated and unjust in school. They pointed out that they can communicate their problems and desires to managers and teachers, they are concerned with the problems of managers and teachers. They said they had difficulty understanding the lessons at their first time, and they received more help from their families in mathematics and English lessons. They said their families had financial problems because they had difficulty providing their school needs. It also revealed that the majority of the students would like to stay in Turkey in the future.
