abilities in the most appropriate way. In the light of the observations made at the primary education level,it provides additional advantages if a student studies a field on which he is interested and talented. For example; the students who want to be teachers and have appropriate features in this field should be directed to teachers college, which will increase both students’achievement and provides additional points for university entrance exam. A student who graduates from teachers college has an advantage of solving less questions rather than a student who graduates from general high school for the same purpose, so the student graduating from teachers college is in more advantageous situation.

One of the most important issues

that the educators discuss is Vocational high schools. Some of them see that issue as a lack of guidance , and some see it as a coefficient problem. But the real problem is that the students and their parents do not recognize vocational high schools sufficiently. If you are interested in any department of vocational schools, it will be useful for you. The advantages of vocational schools are to adopt the profession that he or she wants to have in the future at young age and work in this business willingly,

to be able to have a profession and to get a certificate of opening a business license after school, to have a chance to have an undergraduate and a graduate education in OSS with or without an examination, and for the associate degree students to pass bachelor's degree by a vertical transition.
