Summary:In many respects, the Turkish education system stands out internationally as a success story. Major investments in the school system in the early 2000s have resulted in a vast expansion of participation. By 2015, participation in primary and secondary school had become universal.

The universalisation of education is even more remarkable because learning outcomes improved over the same period.
