Summary/Abstract: The process of Modernization-Westernization that began during the years of the decline of the Ottoman Empire, and continues right up to the present, is evaluated in relation to the Turkish educational system in the present study. European high-ranking officials and foreign education specialists came from the West via minority and foreign schools, and these specialists served the Ottoman Empire. They brought westernization and modernization to Turkey. In this study, the conveyance of that westernization is evaluated. Westernization and modernization were discussed separately, and a comparison was made between the Turkish experience and that of Russia and Japan. It was also determined that education area of Turkey could only partially modernize and Turkey could not create its own autonomous educational system. According to the conclusion of the study, the westernization of Turkey has been continuous. France was dominant in the Turkish educational system in the 19th century. After the Second World War, the USA was dominant, and beginning in the 2000s, the European Union has also been involved in the Turkish educational system, and is now predominant.
