OIHS Istanbul City Meetup: Talking About the Future of Education with Prof. Dr. Erhan Erkut
In a world where education is increasingly independent of time and place, Ontario International High School (OIHS) is bringing our global vision to the cities where our students live.
At the OIHS Istanbul City Meetup on Sunday, March 15, 2026 at MEFTEK Maslak, we're coming together with our Principal Prof. Dr. Erhan Erkut.
Why Istanbul? Although we have students across Turkey, Istanbul is home to one of the largest communities within the OIHS family. This meetup is very important to us to reconnect with our current students and parents in Istanbul and to feel the strength of our community on the ground.
Program Content and Flow: Our event will begin with a morning session exclusive to our current OIHS family. In the afternoon, we'll open our doors to prospective parents who want to shape their children's future with a global vision through a general information presentation. Throughout the day, current students Toprak Umut Usanmaz and Gülin Su Tezcan will also share their OIHS journey with attendees.
Topics to Be Covered at the Meetup:
- Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD): Discover the details of our Ontario Ministry of Education approved program, delivered through live classes.
- Global Admission and Prestige: The advantages the OSSD diploma provides in university admissions worldwide, especially in Canada, the UK, and Europe.
- Competencies of the Future: Our Principal Prof. Dr. Erhan Erkut's sharing on 21st century skills and next generation high school education.
- Student Experiences: Reflections from our current students on the OIHS journey.
- YetGen Session: A dedicated presentation and Q&A with Begüm Pala, Education Coordinator.
We invite all Istanbul parents who want to prepare their students not just for university but for a global future to this meetup.
