MAPPING TÜRKİYE'S PROGRESS ON EDUCATION FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Sustainable Development Goals-Education (SDG4) is defined as “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”. In this article, the progress made in education within the framework of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in Türkiye is shown. In this context, 12 indicators related to the field of education were addressed for SDG4. The indicators were grouped under four thematic headings: early childhood education, basic education, higher education, and lifelong learning. .These indicators were mainly selected on the basis of the OECD’s approach, which states that the quantitative targets defined in the global policy agenda should be followed at the country level using individual approaches. TOPSIS method was applied to create an education index value for the SDG4 by using these indicators. PCA method was utilized to determine the weights of each indicator in this index. Thus, Türkiye's progress on the SDG4 were mapped out.
