An interview with an ex-VH. Student

Hello! First of all, why did you choose your school? Were you happy with it? If not why?

Actually I didn’t choose it. I had to go because I didn’t have any other choices. My exam result was not good and I wasn’t happy of course. As you know, the vocational high schools can not give a good education. There is no guarantee to find a job after we graduated. And I had some problems with one of my teachers. He always used slang words especially to the only girl in our class. That’s why I changed my school.

Did you have enough information before you went to this school?

Yes but general things such as those who study there are not good students, their exam results are not good so they only can go to these schools etc.

Had your school got enough fund from Ministry to provide you with good equipment?

No, they send and we know this as our school manager was always talking about that. But he spent money to buy an air conditioner to our teachers room. And we couldn’t dare to ask.That attitude really ground my gears and i have changed my school.

Thanks Yusuf Kaşıkçı for that great interview.

Interview with the headmaster of Vocational Technical and Industry Hıgh Schools in Batman. ‘’Necati TUNÇ’’

What are the reasons that trigger the students to think about the Vocational High Schools as the last option while they're making choices for high school education?

We asked him:

Mr.TUNÇ:We can divide the reasons into three cathegories. 

1)FAMILIES:Families still don't know that their children can enter to universities without scores being reduced .They don't take into  account the desires and skills of their children.They just want their children to have prestigious jobs such as doctor, lawyer,engineer or etc.2)MINISTRY OF EDUCATION:They made so many changes and legislations in order to regulate the system but it has made the situation more  chaotic.They wanted to make these schools' situation equal to those in  Europe but I think there are mistakes in their regulations. Because they reduced the options of high schools for students. 3)SCHOOLS:Schools don't have enough qualifications for getting so many students at the same time.

IMECEPTION: With the transformation of general high schools into Anatolian High  Schools there occured a high rise in  attendance to Vocational High Schools.Do you think that this rise is compulsory or a matter of choice? And what will be the biggest contribution to our  country if  the vocational training is developed and  widespreaded?

Mr.TUNÇ:With new regulations there aren't any differences between Anatolian high schools and Vocational High Schools while entering the universities but in Vocational High Schools in addition to other lessons vocational training is given.For a student who has a low grade and  cannot attend an Anatolian High  Schools the only choices are Vocational or Religious High Schools. Even though he/she doesn't want to take vocational or religious training there is no other choice .I think this is partially a compulsory situation. Our country needs too much well-educated personel on the area of industry.This will contribute to this too much.

We offer German Education System to fix that problem

The German concept is simple: After students complete their mandatory years of schooling, usually around age 18, they apply to a private company for a two or three year training contract. If accepted, the government supplements the trainee’s on-the-job learning with more broad-based education in his or her field of choice at a publicly funded vocational school. Usually, trainees spend three to four days at work and one to two in the classroom. At the end, the theory goes, they come out with both practical and technical skills to compete in a global market, along with a good overall perspective on the nature of their profession

-German students start learning a profession instead of basic lessons at an earlier age.-People’s point of view is remarkably different for Vocational Education. -German children tend to improve themselves more on their specific skills because of early development.

What can we do ?

1. Contact our state school board member and explain the German education system so that they can teach it to their students and raise awareness.

2. Contact the governor and tell them we are concerned about applying German education to Turkish schools.
