    Turkey’s higher education system lacked crucial components prior to the 1950s. There were only three universities in the entire country, and they were all in Istanbul or Ankara. The government-owned enterprises at the time dominated the entire market, which did not aid Turkey’s economic condition. A country’s labor force must be educated if it is to enjoy social and economic prosperity, hence the Turkish government had to increase the capacity of its educational institutions. Because of the country’s expanding population, rising number of high school graduates, and overall societal growth, the government was compelled to give education priority. Between the 1950s and the early 1990s, Turkey’s social economy saw significant changes, which had an impact on its social economy positively to an extent.
