"Financing of Higher Education" Discussed at Bahçeşehir University
The conference on "Financing of Higher Education," organized in partnership with the Council of Higher Education, Bahçeşehir University and Columbia University, hosted prominent figures from academia and the business world.
The opening speeches of the conference were delivered by Council of Higher Education President Yusuf Ziya Özcan and Bahçeşehir University Chairman of the Board of Trustees Enver Yücel.
In his speech, Council of Higher Education President Yusuf Ziya Özcan touched on the following points:
"This is an extremely important conference for our country. There is an extraordinary dynamism in education around the world. Even in countries with high levels of education, higher education is a controversial subject. Countries such as Finland, Germany and Japan are reviewing their higher education systems.
WE WILL BE FAVORABLE TO THEMATIC UNIVERSITIES
You need to decide on this: will we provide university education to a select group, or will we admit everyone of the right age to university? If you choose the second, your job is very difficult. It brings many problems with it. Creating a world-class university places a great burden and cost on states and governments.
There are also serious changes in the higher education system in Türkiye. Democratization is the first step. We grant the right to education to everyone, to citizens from all walks of life. We have opened many new universities. From now on, we will also be favorable to thematic universities. We will look favorably on requests in this direction and grant the necessary permits.
