Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to compare the education privatization policies in Turkey, China and Japan and to present a new perspective to policy makers and researchers by revealing the similarities and differences between these countries in terms of education privatization policies. In addition to the World Bank, OECD, UNICEF, MEB, YÖK and TUIK reports and databases, MEB, MEXT (Japan Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), MOE (Chinese Ministry of Education), MOJ (Chinese Laws and Regulations Data Collection) Base) official websites and scientific studies were used. According to the results of the research, education in Turkey is still perceived as a public service and education is largely provided by the state. However, the rate of private schools and students at all levels except pre-school in Turkey has increased from year to year. The ratio of the number of private schools and students in Turkey is highest at pre-school level and at least at primary school level, in Japan at least at primary school level in vocational and technical education, and at least at primary school level in China. Compared to Japan and China, Turkey allocates a higher share of Gross Domestic Product to education. The share of the private sector as education financing is higher in Japan than in Turkey and China. Japan has been more affected by privatization than Turkey and China. In all three countries, the majority of education funding is provided by the state. The share of the private sector in education financing in Japan is higher than in Turkey and China. In all three countries, a legal basis has been established to encourage the private sector in education and the private sector has been encouraged in education.
