Experiences of Migrant Meskhetian
Turkic Students in Turkish School
Settings
AB  - The study aims to provide insights into Turkish national education policies toward immigrant communities based on the experiences of
Meskhetian Turkic high school students who migrated to Turkey. The study
was done qualitatively and carried out via in-depth interviews with 10
Meskhetian Turkic students attending 12th grade at various high schools
in İstanbul. According to the findings of the research, students sometimes
felt discriminated against and had difficulty expressing themselves because
they did not know the local language. Participants perceived teachers as
having an inclusive attitude but commented that they could not get enough
support from the guidance service. Meskhetian students stated that they
needed to be better supported financially and believe that they should be included in the school activity calendar and cultural studies to promote their
culture. Educational policymakers should be aware that ensuring positive
educational experiences for historically interconnected communities like
Meskhetians will help future economic, social, and political cooperation.
