The highest enrollment rates of Syrian children continuing their education in Türkiye,
in both public schools and TTCs, have been achieved mostly in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
grades. Enrollment rates tend to decrease markedly as education levels and grade levels
increase.

In the academic year 2017-2018, the enrollment rates by education levels were 108%
in primary school, 53% in secondary school, and 23% in high school. Considering the
gender distribution of Syrian students who are being educated in our country, 174,156
of the students in TTCs are girls and 176,979 are boys; in the official schools, 134,353
of the Syrian students are girls while 133,460 of them are boys. It is apparent that the
numbers of male and female students are very balanced and even.
