The Academic Union has been set up as an Associate of Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) to work alongside the Ministry of Education, and the Haceteppe University, Education Faculty. Its mission is to develop and improve education and teacher training standards in both state and private schools throughout Turkey by working with a growing network of Associate Schools. The Academic Union has joined together top education specialists from different universities around the world to collectively work diligently to keep abreast of the latest curricula and teacher training updates, their implementation, and to monitor their effects. Schools who wish to join our network as Associate Schools are supported by the Academic Union and guided to improve educational standards in order to develop their potential and increase their success by offering international, global-standard education programmes.
