Start date: Aug 4, 2014, End date: Aug 3, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

After the radical changes in our education system which is 4+4+4, making the education duration compulsory for 12 years caused open education to become widespread for the students who have been dismissed from school, which doesn’t give them a chance to benefit from formal education, and individuals who have suspended their education life for any reasons. However, search for alternative method and system due to numerous difficulties such as the fact that students are to attend classes compulsorily including weekends and off times from their work in open vocational high schools in open education system, limited number of students may enroll and people who live far from city centers have difficulty in transportation, has raised distance vocational education system as the most appropriate solution. Likewise, distance vocational education system has a tendency to become widespread dramatically because of its superior features such as diminishing education expenditures, providing education to more students simultaneously, providing access to people at different geographical locations, ensuring people with disadvantage and working to access to the education, accelerating and facilitating the access of data. On the other hand, providing the opportunity to access vocational education to 76 million citizen in our country including the people with disadvantage such as handicapped, women, the elderly, ex-convicts, children and the youth who have committed crime or are under the risk of committing crime, people who are unemployed for a long time, unemployed youth and temporary workers shows the importance of distance vocational education. Vocational and Technical Open Education School is a school which provides service in order to help individuals to have an occupation by the help of distance vocational education programs and to prepare them for life depending on General Directorate of Lifelong Learning. Our project has been prepared in order to enhance the quality of distance vocational education system in our country, to witness regulation, legislation and various applications related to distance vocational education system which are applied in EU countries on site so that more quality educational opportunities and places are created, to examine the institutions which have been established and maintained their service for this aim, to make large-scale research for providing distance vocational education especially so as to provide employment for adults and to collect data which shall help our Ministry to develop policies in this way.
