A Partnership in Education: Kadir Has University and TÖZOK Invest in the Future

An exciting step has been taken to enhance the quality of education and forge stronger ties between the academic world and secondary education. Kadir Has University and the Turkish Association of Private Schools (TÖZOK) signed a comprehensive cooperation protocol at a ceremony hosted by our university, marking the beginning of a long-term partnership.

Opening New Doors for Students and Educators

Under this cooperation, a vision has been outlined that will touch the lives of everyone from educators to students. Thanks to the protocol, a continuous professional development platform will be created for teachers and educational administrators, while students’ academic journeys will be supported by our university’s expertise. The fact that joint projects will be developed in today’s most critical areas—such as education law, artificial intelligence, psychology, and children’s rights—makes this partnership even more valuable.

Additionally, as part of this collaboration, special discount opportunities will be implemented in accordance with relevant regulations and procedures to facilitate young graduates from TÖZOK member schools in pursuing their education under our university’s umbrella.
