Private universities are charging Turkish students 53 times more in tuition fees compared to foreign students. This pricing policy makes access to higher education more difficult. Turkish families facing budget constraints encounter limitations in choosing private universities. This discrimination in education costs deepens social inequality. The education community and parents are questioning the fairness of the fee structure.
Foundation universities in Turkey charge Turkish students tuition fees 53 times higher than international students. This practice effectively excludes children from middle and lower-income families facing economic pressure from foundation universities. Education experts emphasize that this pricing policy deepens social inequality and contradicts equal opportunity in education.
If your child aims to study at a foundation university, the tuition fees you will pay could be 53 times higher than what an international student pays—meaning a serious obstacle in budget planning for families. For middle-income families, this price difference limits their children's educational options to state universities. The approach of regulatory bodies toward this practice will determine whether tuition policies will change in the coming period.
