Abstract

INTRODUCTION The Vizyon 2023 is a national technology foresight study which consists of the 30 years term from 1993, when the last science and technology policy study was held, to 2023, the 100th anniversary of Turkish Republic. This study conducted by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) since 2002 has been converted to a strategy document to submit to Science and Technology High Council (BTYK) at the end of more than two years (TÜBİTAK, 2004). The socio-economic aims decided for the 100th anniversary of Turkish Republic are as follows: “ Turkey:  makes effort for establishing equitable and permanent peace in the own region and the world,  has a democratic and equitable law system,  has citizens who are arbiter in the future of the country,  assures the health, education and culture needs of country,  seeks sustainable development; and has equitable distribution of income,  is competent in the science, technology and innovation; produces, and increases the net value added with its own brainpower” (TÜBİTAK, 2004). When looked the dimensions of the vision (Vizyon 2023) it is seen that this vision involves particularly education as well as health, agriculture and food, construction and infrastructure, transportation, energy, information and communication, machine production, chemistry, chemicals and textiles, defense, aeronautics and space industries, tourism, natural resources and environment (TÜBİTAK, 2004). In the education area of the vision, an individual model is foreseen in the education system which develops the creative and imaginative aspects of the individual, can make the individual develops own capacity at maximum level; create own learning technology without the restrictions of time and place and has the power to renew itself; and focuses on the learning and the human (TÜBİTAK, 2004). Statistical indicators utilized in many areas to determine the situation of the national education systems have been a standard part of making decision process in the early years of 21st century (Smith and Baker, 2003). The indicators can play considerable role to determine the problems, describe the trends, and decide the priorities, make, evaluate and monitor the policies. Moreover the indicators can help to simplify the complex information in many issues (Shirnding, 2002). In this research, an analysis was made in terms of international indicators which can influence to reach the aims related to the education in the Vizyon 2023. This analysis has been important in terms of determining the indicators which could be useful for policy makers and decision makers, and approaching the related aims within a monitoring-evaluation system framework. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study is to analysis the aims related to education in the Vizyon 2023 study in terms of international indicators.
