Training in Northern Cyprus – find out everything you need to know with KIBRIZ

Anyone planning to emigrate to Northern Cyprus with their family should find out about school education in the country. School education is compulsory in Northern Cyprus from the age of five to 17 and is offered in state and private institutions. While state training is free, private training requires a fee.

State education in Northern Cyprus takes place in institutions where mainly Turkish is spoken and taught. English is mandatory as a second language and French or German can be chosen as a third language. The state school curriculum includes in particular the history of Türkiye and Cyprus. State education is divided into four levels: kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and senior school. After each graduation, the child receives state certificates and there are ceremonies to recognize progress.

Private schools in Northern Cyprus are very popular due to the large international influence on the island. Many parents send their children to English-speaking private schools, such as The English School of Kyrenia, which accepts boys and girls from the age of three. The private school fee can be up to $2,500 per school year. Compared to state schools, private schools offer more comprehensive lessons per day and also offer summer schools during the long summer holidays. Extracurricular activities are strongly encouraged here to take into account the personal interests of the children. The more comprehensive curriculum of private schools makes it possible to maintain international standards particularly well.

Northern Cyprus also offers some renowned universities that allow students to choose their subjects individually and according to their own interests. The East Mediterranean University is a public university with over 13,000 students and a variety of nationalities. The Near East University, on the other hand, is a private, international university in the capital Nicosia and was founded in 1988. Here students from 18 different countries receive their higher education to embark on their career path. There are also modern universities as an alternative to the options mentioned, so that every student can find the right environment for themselves.
