Istanbul Aydın University President Prof. Dr. Mustafa Aydın participated the TOBB Higher Education Council Consultation Meeting hosted by Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar, President of the Higher Education Council (YÖK). The meeting comprehensively discussed the future of the Turkish higher education system and the roles of foundation higher education institutions in this future.

In his speech, Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar highlighted that the high increases in tuition fees could negatively impact the sustainability of education and the reliability of institutions. He emphasized that ensuring students are not harmed should be the top priority and stated that they expected foundation universities to continue their efforts to increase international student numbers. Özvar also noted the importance of showing the same level of sensitivity to international students as is shown to Turkish students and emphasized that developments that could harm the international reputation of the higher education system would be addressed with care.

Prof. Dr. Özvar further stated that programs that do not offer adequate opportunities in the labor market for graduates will not be allowed, and new programs that meet the expectations of the business world and the private sector should replace them. He mentioned that programs whose importance has diminished due to emerging technologies will also undergo transformation in foundation universities, with the quotas for programs with reduced relevance to employment gradually being decreased, and second-degree programs being entirely removed.

Prof. Dr. Mustafa Aydın, President of Istanbul Aydın University, emphasized the importance of the meeting, where higher education issues and solutions were discussed. Prof. Dr. Aydın thanked YÖK President Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar for his solution-oriented approach.

Türkiye Odalar ve Borsalar Birliği (TOBB) Türkiye Yükseköğretim Meclisi Toplantısı, YÖK Başkanı Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar’ın katılımıyla Yükseköğretim Kurulu Başkanlığında gerçekleştirildi.

Toplantıda meclis üyesi olan vakıf yükseköğretim kurumlarının yöneticileriyle yükseköğretimin çeşitli yönleri üzerine istişarelerde bulunularak vakıf üniversitelerinin mevcut durumu aktarıldı.

YÖK Başkanı Erol Özvar, üniversitelerin iktisadi büyüme ve kalkınmada üzerine düşen misyonların ülkenin beşerî sermayesi ve genç nüfusun istihdam edilme kapasitesinin nitelikli hale getirilmesi ile küresel ekonomik rekabette üstünlük sağlayacak yolları, usulleri ve kapasiteleri göstermesi olduğunu söyledi.

Bu süreçlerin gerçekleşmesinde devlet ve vakıf üniversitesi ayrımı yapmadıklarını vurgulayan Özvar, “Eğitim-öğretim, üniversite-sanayi iş birliği, Ar-Ge ve inovasyon konusunda devlet ve vakıf üniversiteleri bakımından bir ayrım gözetmiyoruz. Bu konuda da bir iş bölümünün doğru olduğunu düşünmüyoruz.” diye konuştu.


“WE DO NOT DISCRIMINATE STATE AND FOUNDATION UNIVERSITY”

Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) Turkey Higher Education Assembly Meeting, was held under the Presidency of the Council of Higher Education with the participation of YÖK President Prof. Dr. Erol Özvar.

At the meeting, the current situation of foundation universities was discussed on various aspects of higher education with the executives of foundation higher education institutions, which are members of the council.

President of YOK, Erol Özvar said that the mission of universities in economic growth and development is to make the human capital of the country and the employment capacity of the young population qualified, and to show the ways, methods and capacities that will provide superiority in global economic competition.

Emphasizing that they do not distinguish between state and foundation universities in the realization of these processes, Özvar said, “We do not make any distinction between state and foundation universities in terms of education-training, university-industry cooperation, R&D and innovation. We do not think that a division of labor is correct in this regard, either.”
