Dr. Mustafa Aydın : “ Education Reforms in 2014”
Artı Education Magazine published an article written by the chairman of the Board of Directors of Istanbul Aydın University Dr. Mustafa Aydın in January 2015.
Reforms to improve education system in Turkey has been implemented and MEB and YOK worked closely in every step of decision making. Reforms would only be effective if common decisions were made in line with the recommendations and suggestions of the participants. It is important because educational institutions shapes the future generation.
Education shapes the society and provide necessary knowledge for individuals to live prosperous lives. Therefore education system should be able to adapt to changes in the world and be dynamic. Education is one of the requirements for any society to be respectable and modern within the globe. We need to put clear distinction as to how far the education system should adapt the developments. It should also be independent and be focused on persons individually.
During the academic year 2013-2014 there has been educational reforms. Few of the exams were replaced with more effienct exams to test students skills and abilities. For instance, students of class 6,7 and 8 will be evaluated based on their weighted average score and be replaced in high schools accordingly. Regular high schools were replaced by technical high schools, faith schools and multi program high schools. As part of these reforms many of the tutoring schools were transformed into high schools. Based on the results of KPSS and OABT exams teachers will be selected.
During the academic year 2013-2014 students of the faculty of literature and science were granted to be teachers after obtaining pedogogical profiency certificate. In 2014 there have been few changes to the certification program. According to the new rule, students at their second year in school would be able to apply to the program. Students who pass the exam and selects only the schools that give the certification will be sponsored by the government financially. Upon completing their courses students will be offered a two year program with specific education on jobs related to teaching.
Another reform was in the educational level of the administration, and they will be required to have masters degree. Students and teachers will be given psychological treatment supports when necessary.

Shale Gas: A Source of Energy for Future
A conference held at İstanbul Aydın University with the theme of “Shale Gas and the Latest Developments in Energy Sector.”
The conference was organized by Aydın Düşünce Platformu at İstanbul Aydın University and the former Ministry of Energy Hilmi Güler, former Mayor of Istanbul Avni Mutlu, the Chairman of the Board of Trusttes Dr. Mustafa Aydın at IAU and the Governor of Kucukcekmece Harun Kaya joined the conference.
Shale Gas will be the future energy resource
Former Minister of Energy Hilmi Guler said that Turkey has abundant resources but need the technology to extract shale gas and added “There are two way to extract shale gas: Horizontal Drilling and Vertical Drilling. The drill bit crushes the rock and based on the characteristics of the rock formation shale gas can be extracted by fracking. While a wider area with shale gas can be reached by vertical drilling, more shale gas can be extracted through horizontal drilling.”
Protecting Blackbirds
“When we started working on these projects we considered the environmental issues. We took precausionary and economical measures while constructing the pipelines. We sometimes built extended pipelines in order to protect blackbirds that lay eggs on the same route not to distrube them in their natural life.”
Turkey Utilized its Energy Resources Inefficiently
Hilmi Guler also emphasized that “Turkey is not utilizing its energy resources efficiently and presented a map of energy resources in Turkey and added “ We need to utilize energy resources such as wind, solar power, water, geothermal energy and shale gas in an efficient way. We have shale gas reserves in South East of Turkey and Thracia. Countries with excess shale gas reserves will start exporting once they begin extracting the shale gas. Since they will have one of the most important input for production readily available in their home land, profits of those countries inured to have excess wealth due to their natural resources will fall.”
