This came Monday in a speech during the “Transforming Education” summit at the United Nations Trusteeship Council in New York.
President Erdoğan noted that Turkey is a country that provides free education at various educational levels, from kindergarten to university.
President Erdoğan also referred to the activities carried out by Turkish institutions to support education around the world.
He pointed out that the educational institutions affiliated to the Turkish Knowledge Endowment, which are spread in 49 countries around the world, especially in Africa, Asia and the Balkans, fill a large void in this regard.

On the other hand, President Erdoğan indicated that Turkey is making all necessary efforts to ensure the education of refugee children in Turkey.
