Schools
The Hüsnü M. Özyeğin Foundation has opened 19 primary and secondary schools and 7 high schools in 33 provinces between 2000 and 2020. After the conversion of a high school to a middle school and the opening of a new primary school, more than 20,000 students are provided access to education each year with 21 primary and secondary schools and 6 high schools.
The Foundation also supports the maintenance and repair of the schools it has built and donated, and donates computers, computer desks and books to these schools through campaigns it has launched at various times to equip computer laboratories and enrich their libraries.
Primary and Secondary Schools
Following needs analyses undertaken in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education, the foundation identified regions where the construction of new primary schools would improve educational access. Consequently, between 2000 and 2024, the foundation constructed 20 primary and secondary schools in these regions, subsequently transferring them to the Ministry of National Education for operation.
High Schools
Especially in provinces that receive high numbers of migrants, the capacity of high schools does not meet the demand of students. The Foundation conducts needs assessments with the Ministry of Education to determine locations where the lack of secondary schools is most acute.
Other Educational Facilites and Donations
After the 7.4 magnitude Marmara Earthquake on August 17th, 1999, 4 school buildings in Istanbul were diagnosed by Istanbul Technical University as being under risk of serious damage in the event of another earthquake.
