Abstract

The purpose of this study is to put forth the current situation of studies examining the problems faced in the education of Syrian students attending schools in Turkey within the scope of formal education through meta-synthesis. In line with the study purpose, studies with qualitative findings and results related to the subject were examined and synthesized, and the results related to the subject were presented with a holistic perspective. The keywords of Syrians, foreign students, immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and temporary protection were used during the literature review search conducted to determine the studies to be discussed within the scope of the study. The searches were carried out on online databases and search engines

Thus, every other year a growing number of Syrian students are expected to actively join the system (Özenç & Kara, 2021). Regarding the facts above, it's evident that a dynamic combination of factors has resulted in a steady rise in the number of international students in Turkey.…”
