No 451, Working Papers from Economic Research Forum

Abstract: This paper first describes the educational system in Turkey and the two national examinations for advancing to upper levels of schooling, which spur demand for private tutoring called “dersane” in Turkish. Second, the evolution of Private Tutoring Centers (PTCs) is described and compared with high schools in the country. Third, geographical distribution of the PTCs, general high schools and the proportion of high-school-age-population are compared over the provinces to touch on special equity issues. Other topics addressed include gender and PTCs students, disruption of mainstream education, determinants of the demand for PTCs services, cost of PTCs and evidence on the effectiveness of PTCs.
