At a gathering in Istanbul on June 7th, Erdoğan stated that the new curriculum aims to cultivate solution-oriented, competent students who actively engage with and question national, spiritual, and human values. Dubbed the ‘Maarif model,’ this curriculum is crafted to meet international standards and address the global need for advanced science and technology, as outlined by Erdoğan. He highlighted Türkiye’s recent progress in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), a study conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) evaluating the academic performance of 15-year-old students in mathematics, science, and reading.
