If you intend to immigrate to Turkey and your goal is short-term or long-term residence or citizenship, you should consider that the first condition for entering Turkish schools is to have Kimlik(ID). Without obtaining residence or citizenship, the process of educating children does not begin.
Perhaps the best way to start is to learn Turkish in Iran or in Turkey before entering school. But if your child is not familiar with Turkish, do not worry, you can apply for enrollment in Iranian schools in Turkey. Or enroll in international schools to continue their education in English or other living languages such as French or German.
Fortunately, the Turkish school system offers a variety of options in addition to being of high quality, which makes it a good option for immigration.
