Privatization of Higher Education Finance in Turkey

Abstract

This study aims at developing a model for the privatization of higher education finance in Turkey. While the primary target is the NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) population, it offers a broad range of potential solutions involving asset securitization for higher education financing. Data is driven from secondary sources. The paper presents an interdisciplinary approach for privatizing higher education finance involving the labor market, higher education institutions and the Turkish capital market and constitutes a unique contribution to the Turkish higher education finance literature.
