As a civil society organization, the Turkish Education Association undertakes creative projects on its own and also collaborates with other organizations to conduct joint activities. The Association always stands as a leader in the movement toward scientific development and modernization in Turkey.

Within this scope, the Turkish Education Association;

• Creates scientific platforms to raise Turkish educational standards to contemporary levels; organizes symposia, meetings and conferences; and supports relevant research projects.

• Supports projects and activities to improve the education system through the efforts of its Science Council. The "Journal of Education and Science," published by the Science Council since 1977, is a refereed quarterly publication recognized as a valuable source of reference for academic studies.
