How the education pathway works
The system map separates lower-secondary, upper-secondary vocational and tertiary routes because the headline measures use different levels.
| Stage | When | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Primary education | Primary | Primary schooling forms the first main compulsory stage. |
| Lower-secondary education | Lower secondary | Lower secondary follows primary education. |
| General and vocational routes | Upper secondary | Upper-secondary education includes a substantial vocational branch. |
| Higher education | Tertiary | Universities and other institutions form the tertiary sector. |

How to read the Türkiye evidence
The 102.5% and 127.6% values are gross enrolment ratios and can exceed 100% because their numerators can include learners outside official age groups.
No newer value is invented where the current profile still presents 2022 for these selected indicators.
