The Education has always been crucial for development worldwide. In a globalizing world, it is inevitable to consider international standards in achieving development goals. The European Union plays a significant role as an organization promoting cooperation and harmony among countries. In this context, it has identified four main areas for improving the quality of education, establishing sixteen indicators related to these areas. Türkiye has declared willingness to align with the education policies proposed by the European Union. Therefore, in today’s increasingly competitive international environment, the question of how compatible and competitive the Turkish education system is with international standards is important. In this regard, this study aims at analyzing the current state of the Turkish education system according to the quality indicators in education set forth by the European Union, focusing on areas such as achievement and transition, education monitoring, resources and structures. Utilizing document analysis methodology, this study examines the current state of the Turkish education system using various sources such as PISA 2022 and Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) data. The study results show that although the Turkish education system has shown progress in the areas addressed, further steps are needed, particularly in areas such as school dropout and pre-school education. This study is expected to contribute to creating an education system closer to international standards by identifying the strengths of the Turkish education system while also highlighting potential improvements.
