Abstract :In 2011, after the internal conflicts in Syria, mass migration to Türkiye started. Syrians entering the country are under temporary protection status. In the face of this situation, policies that required social cohesion were implemented and education became one of the most important cohesion policies. In this context, revealing how education is provided for immigrants in Türkiye has been important in demonstrating the success of integration policies. In this study, it is aimed to reveal what are the policies and implementation results for the inclusion of Syrians under temporary protection in the Turkish education system. In the method of the study, official statistics, legal regulations, news and academic research were handled and document analysis was used. In this context, all dimensions of the subject from primary education to higher education were categorized. When the findings were shared systematically, it was seen that the Syrians, who were initially considered temporary, continued their education in the camps without obtaining a diploma or document. With the end of the war, legal arrangements such as \"Educational Services for Foreigners\" and \"Execution of Services for Foreigners under Temporary Protection\" were made in order to include Syrians in the Turkish National Education System and Higher Education. In the field studies examined in the literature analysis, it was seen that despite the legal regulations, technical and social problems continued in practice and the participation in post-primary education was low. In addition, it has been revealed that the success of education policies for Syrians under temporary protection is related to the cultural structure of the cities where Syrians live in Türkiye, their geographical proximity to Syria, the population of Arab origin in the city, the status of schools, and the qualifications of teachers. As a result of the implications of the findings; It is recommended to provide effective language learning to all age groups, to ensure continuity in school after primary school by taking measures against situations that prevent participation in the lesson, and to encourage Syrian academicians and higher education students, who are the most susceptible group.Keywords : Uluslararası Göç, Geçici Koruma Altındaki Suriyeliler, Eğitim Politikaları, Toplumsal Uyum, Türkiye
