Özet:

The policies followed by the education of Syrian children in 2012 were attempted to be developed on the basis of the assumption that they would return in the first stage, and these policies were prepared only to the camp. Then on September 23, 2014, the educational services to be provided to Syrian children with the General Education and Education Services for Foreigners No. 2014/21 were linked to a specific standard and guaranteed. The National Education Ministry (MEB) has published the 2015-2019 Strategic Plan for the first time in which plans for the education of refugees are included. With all these developments in education, it is still impossible to say that the desired schooling rates of Syrians in school age in Turkey have been captured. The rates of schooling for Syrian students are different in different levels. The highest level of school is the highest level of school. According to 2019 MEB data, 339,541 students from 382,357 school-age populations are registered in primary school. The rate of schooling at this level is 88.80%. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)’s 2019 data shows that the fact that refugees in the world’s average primary school education rate is about 63 per cent shows the fact that the rate in Turkey in this level is very high. As the graduation progresses, the level of schooling is reduced. In the high school, the rate of schooling fell to 32.55% with a significant decline. There are two critical factors in the lack of schooling at this stage: the first is that boys have to work to provide economic support to the family. The second, unfortunately, is that young girls in high school age are married early. In this study, the rates of schooling of Syrian children in primary and secondary schools were revealed based on the current data of both the MEB’s General Directorate for Lifelong Learning and the General Directorate of the Immigration Administration. Some of these data have been drawn up and analysed.

Policies towards the education of Syrian children in 2012 were tried to be developed on the assumption that they would return to their motherland, and these policies were prepared only for the inside of the refugee camp. Later, on 23th September of 2014, with the circular titled Education-Training Services for Foreigners numbered 2014/21, the education services to be offered to Syrian children were standardized and guaranteed. It is seen that for the first time, plans for the education of refugees are included in the 2015-2019 Strategic Plan published by the Ministry of National Education (MEB). Despite all these developments in education, it is still not possible to say that the desired participation in education enrollment rate of school-aged Syrians in Turkey has been achieved. The schooling rates of Syrian students at various levels differ from each other. Primary school is the stage where schooling is the most intense. According to 2019 MEB data, 339,541 students out of 382,357 school age population were enrolled in primary school, which equals to a schooling rate of is 88.80% at this level. According to 2019 data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the average enrolment rate of refugees in primary school worldwide is about 63%, which reveals the fact that the rate at this level is very high in Turkey. It is observed that the schooling rate decreases as the levels progress. At the high school level, the enrollment rate decreased significantly to 32.55%. There are two influential factors in the low schooling at this level: First, boys have to work to provide economic support to the family. The second is the early marriage of young girls who are, unfortunately, at high school age. In this study, the statistical information on the schooling rates of Syrian children is based on the current data of both the Ministry of National Education's General Directorate of Lifelong Learning and the Directorate General of Migration Management. Based on these data, some tables were prepared and analyzed.
