With the encouragement and support of the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) in order to contribute to the qualified workforce within the framework of Turkey's strategic development plans, steps have been taken to increase the qualifications of Vocational Schools and graduates. With this motivation and with the support of our Universities, the Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Vocational Education (MEDEK) was established in 2021. In 2023, our Association was authorized by the Higher Education Quality Board (YÖKAK) to accredit 83 Vocational School programs in order to ensure that Vocational School programs are evaluated for compliance with established standards, quality criteria and performance criteria.

 

MEDEK's mission is to provide information, external evaluation and accreditation services to improve the quality of associate degree programs. Thus, to support the raising of education and training standards.

MEDEK's vision is to be an organization that defines the education, research activities and administrative processes of associate degree programs in accordance with national and international standards, determines the quality of manpower and shares the results with relevant institutions and provides quality registration.
