The Turkish Education Association, founded on January 31, 1928, within the historic setting of the First Grand National Assembly under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, stands as the pioneering non-governmental organization in Turkish education. TED's mission is to support financially disadvantaged yet academically promising students, fostering a contemporary and progressive vision aimed at promoting civil engagement in education. From preschool to higher education, TED is committed to upholding national and international educational standards while actively preserving and advancing our national values. Emphasized in its inaugural charter "The Association does not pursue any political purpose and is only engaged in helping the education and training of the youth of the country.", TED remains steadfast in its non-political mission to solely advance the educational welfare of the nation's youth—a commitment that endures to this day.
