Abstract
The aim of this study is to make inferences about education management policies based on the decisions taken in the National Education Councils (1-20). In the study, qualitative research method and document analysis were used. The study was also based on National Education Council (NEC) decisions, which are available on the official website of the Ministry of National Education, Board of Education and Discipline, and whose full texts have open access. Some of the decisions taken in NECs involve various issues related to educational management. As a result of the analysis of the research data, six themes emerged. These; legislation, organizational structure, curriculum, educational practices, environment and teacher- education manager. Decisions regarding these themes are made at different education levels (pre-school, primary education, secondary education, higher education). In addition, not only education levels are used in determining educational management policies within NEC decisions; many factors (legislation, curriculum, educational practices, environment, teacher-education administrator) are effective. The themes identified in the study are interconnected and supportive of each other. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended to establish a control mechanism to better monitor education management policies based on the decisions taken in NECs to understand whether or not they are implemented or to what extent they are implemented.
