Given Turkey’s geographic size (twice that of Germany but with a similar-size population), it has been a challenge to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their location or socioeconomic background, receive a good education. But one of Turkey’s most remarkable successes since 2003 has been to break the intolerable link between a child’s household circumstances and his or her chances to succeed in school.
考虑到土耳其的地理规模（是德国的两倍大但人口相同），确保所有学生不论身居何处、社会经济地位如何都能获得良好的教育一直是一项挑战。但2003年以来土耳其最令人瞩目的成功之一便是打破了学生家庭条件与其获得优秀学业成绩的机会之间消极联系。
