It is possible to discuss the importance of the construction industry in the country’s economy in terms of its relations and relation level with other sectors which involve the production process, its share in the total production of the country, its share in employment, its effects on the balance of payments and its contribution to the domestic income.
The majority of vocational high schools and vocational high schools which provide training for the staff to be employed in the Construction field, are held in schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education, and the rest in private education institutions.
Present condition of vocational education system was reviewed. To update the existing education curricula and to expand the participation of the private sector in the educational process was proposed to improve the opportunities provided by the state for the development of vocational and technical education.
2023 Strategic Goals of Turkey related Vocational and Technical Education are:
