“…The National Board of Education, an organization tied to the MoNE, plays a cross-division coordinating role on developing or revising curricula (OECD, 2007). The Turkish education system has been restructured several times since the establishment of the state (Ergün & Keskin, 2014). The last radical change in the system was launched in 2012; the new initiative restructured the school system as fragmented primary, middle and secondary school levels, and compulsory education was expanded to 12 years nationwide (Gür, Özoğlu, Coşkun, & Görmez, 2012).…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of school culture training on teachers' perceptions of school culture. The sample consisted of thirty-six primary, middle, and secondary school teachers working at schools in a large city in Southeastern Turkey. A mixed research methodology was used in the study. A one-group pre-and post-test experimental design was employed in the quantitative strand of the research. A training program on school culture including four sessions was implemented by the researchers. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted following the completion of the training. Pre-and post-training data were gathered using the School Culture Scale. Furthermore, focus group discussions were used to obtain qualitative data. The results indicated that the training led to positive changes in teachers' perceptions of school culture. Significant differences were detected in teacher perceptions of leadership based on cooperation, common goals, and cooperative learning dimensions of school culture. However, there were not statistically significant differences in teacher cooperation, professional development, and collegial support. Qualitative findings were consistent with the quantitative ones. It is suggested that changing teacher perceptions of school culture must be prioritized in the construction of positive and strong school cultures.

One of the areas of change is education. Education is reflected in educational policies and organizational structures where policies are made. The aim of the study was to reveal and understand the changes in the organizational structure of the Ministry of National Education, which is an important actor of education policies, in a comparative manner. In the study, qualitative research method was employed and content analysis was used in the analysis process. In the content analysis, three legal texts were used as the data source. These were the Law on the Organization and Duties of the Ministry of National Education, the Decree on the Organization and Duties of the Ministry of National Education, and the Presidential Decree on Organization Chart of the Presidency. In the study, three themes, seven categories and twenty six subcategories appeared. Results showed that the Ministry of National Education maintains its central structure. Changes were both formal and contextual. All three texts have common and different aspects. In all three texts, the elaboration of the central organization in a detailed and comprehensive manner showed that the central organization is the focus structure within the ministerial organization. The most important changes were seen in the Head Council of Education and Morality, and the National Education Councils. In the last part of the study, some suggestions were given.
