“THE DREAMS OF THE STUDENTS COME TRUE”

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Abdulkadir Gayretli stated that thanks to this implementation students can study the program they want and added: “The dream of families and students of studying the program they want comes true with the efforts of the President of Higher Education Council Professor Dr. Yekta Saraç as a result of the lateral transitions are published in a different function. For this reason, each student had the chance to study the program s/he dreamed of, easily. It is necessary to evaluate this chance if the university students have a base score for the departments they want or if they have a general academic grade point average, since it is the time to apply for lateral transfers. Nowadays and in the future, it will be possible for people to have the opportunity to study the programs of their own desire and to establish their own business at the time of graduation, to take up a comfortable job. The chance of students to be successful in the future is also important for them to work according to their own choices.”
 
“STUDENTS CANNOT FIND A JOB AS THEY DON’T GRADUATE FROM THE PROGRAMS THEY WANTED”

Stating that there are thoughts that the rise in the unemployment rate of university graduates is high in Turkey, Abdulkadir Gayretli continued his words as follows: "One of the reasons for this is that the students do not look for a job in a sector in line with their own interest  and do not graduate from the programs they want. Unemployment rates are said to be high among those who graduate from foundation or public universities, but I do not believe this because people complain about not finding enough personnel at industrial or commercial points. It means there is something wrong here. When we listen to industrialists and business people, we learn that they cannot find any staff. The mistake here is that the students couldn't study the departments they wanted."
 
Gayretli making suggestions about the solution of this problem, said: “Using internal and external transfer options in school life students can study the program they want. In addition to the transition, people can study a minor or double major. Students must also know a foreign language. As there is import or export explosion in Turkey speaking a foreign language may make easier for them to find a job.”

Şule Gayretli, a member of the Board of Trustees of IGU, said that internally transferred students can benefit from the scholarship opportunities at the university.
