Abstract: | This paper examines the challenges faced by the Turkish higher education system and exposes the inequities and realities educators
in a developing nation must struggle with as they try to find a prestigious spot in the knowledge-production industry. After
a brief overview of the literature that illustrates how globalization penetrated into each stage of development of Turkey’s
modern institutions of higher education, the paper presents a discussion, based on national and international statistics,
of the challenges these institutions face as a result of globalization, namely increasing demands for higher education; faculty
shortages; the internationalization of higher education; research and knowledge production; and the process of financing higher
education. |
