In an international conference on learning technologies that took place in London at the beginning of this year, the Education Minister of Turkey Ms. Nimet Çubukçu announced that the use of information technologies was her top priority.
The conference was attended by representatives – usually at ministerial level – of more than 100 countries.
According to Anatolian Turkish news agency, via Zaman Turkish daily, in her presentation Ms. Çubukçu said that several large-scale technological projects have already been carried out to help nearly 15 million Turkish students and 600,000 teachers to have access to various ICT tools.
Even the Shoe Size
According to the Minister, 100 percent of high school students and 95 percent of primary school students have access to the Internet and all the schools have the capability to create and launch their own websites.
Ms. Çubukçu also said that Turkish Education Ministry has implemented several projects in cooperation with major global ICT firms such as Microsoft, Intel and Cisco. "For example, thanks to our e-school system, we can collect more than 100 different data regarding weight, height, attendance, and even the shoe size of 15 million students," she said.
Stating that Turkey would continue to follow technological advances in the area of education, Ms. Çubukçu added that "our goal is to raise the quality of education, create a better future for our children and help our people be part of the modern world. For this reason, we want to cooperate with all countries not only in the field of education but also in other areas."
