Education is the focus and goal of millions of Turkish students. With the growing population and a lack of study spaces, more and more Turkish families are looking beyond the borders in order to find valuable education alternatives.
In a country of over 73,000,000 people (2012 census), more than 60% live in urban areas and 26% of the population is under 14 years of age. A further 35% are between 15-34, so nearly 61% are at the formative age where they are working on their education and shaping their futures.
