READING THE EFFECTS OF EDUCATIONAL MOBILITY TO YOUTH THROUGH EXPECTATIONS AND RESULTS: THE CASE OF VAN YÜZÜNCÜ YIL UNIVERSITY

Summary/Abstract: This study is focused on analyzing the socio-political results of education mobility in Turkey’s higher education. In recent years higher education policies that are centered on students and aimed to increase the schooling rate became prominent. In addition to that, the acceleration of the “Bologna” process to be included in the European Higher Education Area increased international student transfers; but also domestic student transfers got support with a goal to deal with high demand and congestion. In this context, this study is focused on the most common form of domestic transfer -from lateral student transfer, vertical transfer and Farabi Exchange Programme- in Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, which is “lateral student transfer”. Through the study, it has been observed that even though student transfers are planned to fulfill the youth’s demands and solve their problems it causes regional inequalities. Besides that, this situation created a youth that lives in the same city for their entire education while also surrounded by family relationships and responsibilities. The target group of the study consist of students who got registered to Van Yüzüncü Yıl University for lateral transfer in the semester of 2017 fall. Findings derived from the deep interviews that had been conducted from a specific sample group got analyzed with the critical method. As a result of these analyses, it has been found that there are multiple reasons for students to apply for a lateral transfer including sociocultural, political and economic reasons. Based on the study, it can be said that family relationships and responsibilities that surround the youth are the sources of other findings and due to that the youth who shapes the future as an idealized generation face with structural limitations.
