Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the migration and adaptation process of foreign students in the Turkish education system. The word meaning of education is the development of a person's physical and mental abilities, learning social rules and adapting to society. Education is the process of adults purposefully and consciously transferring the current culture to the younger generations. According to the social scientist Durkheim, education is an action that adults apply to younger generations who are not ready for social life. Education systems vary from country to country. Countries have their own unique social, cultural, economic and political structures. Education systems, on the other hand, refer to the structure created for the implementation of the current educational policies of countries. Considering that the most important part of education systems is human, it is understood how sensitive the education system should be in the creation process and should also include perspectives for the future. Today, education is an activity carried out in places called classrooms in schools. The classroom is the basic environment in which teaching takes place. The classrooms located in the school are the areas where learning and teaching activities are carried out where the teacher and the student are face-to-face. This fact, which constitutes an invaluable situation in terms of our country's ongoing and developing industrial investments, market mechanism and employer interests, has also been evaluated positively from the point of view of state managers. Only qualified and qualified asylum seekers do not create opportunities for our country in terms of labor. In addition, unqualified asylum seekers also do not hesitate to do jobs that require physical strength and effort and cause much more effort, which Turkish citizens do not want to do or avoid doing, with low wages and excessive working hours. This workforce also includes foreign students of school age. Although this situation may be in the interests of state administrators, it is not in the interests of citizens. Because foreign students who receive low wages and work with excessive working hours take away from themselves the work that Turkish citizens will do. While foreign nationals have not yet taken refuge in our country, foreigners are doing the jobs that our country's citizens are doing today.
