Requirements and Satisfaction Levels of Turkish Migrants for Participation in the BAP Program: Example of Germany
Turkish immigrants who have been to Germany since 1961 have experienced many problems due to different reasons such as not recognizing the destination country, not knowing the mother tongue of the country, and xenophobia during the process of their integration into the region. One of the problems experienced by immigrants is that they cannot get the desired or sufficient education. It is seen that the rigid and selective structure of the German education system plays a role in the integration of Turkish youth into social life and educational processes in Germany rather than their individual or group characteristics. In addition, although the young population of Germany does not increase, the rapid increase of the Turkish population in Germany plays an important role and determines the policies regarding the education system applied to the Turks. In this context, it bears any reason or unfinished education programs for people who want to get more qualified educational development and implementation of Turkey's importance in countries such as Germany. Republic of Turkey, Anadolu University, carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of National Education Curriculum in Western Europe is one of these applications. In this study, it was tried to determine the reasons and satisfaction levels of Turkish students who benefit from this program in Germany to participate in the BAP program. In this context, a questionnaire was applied to the students and a meeting was held with the BAP managers. The survey was applied to a group of 100 BAP students studying in Germany, and the working group consisting of administrators consisted of 10 people who actively communicate with BAP students. In the study, qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods were used together, and the reasons for the participation of the students in the BAP program were grouped personally and socially.
