Changes Implemented for Galatasaray High School Admissions

Galatasaray High School has introduced a new admissions policy that will reshape the pathway for students coming from its primary school. Previously, students who were accepted through an annual lottery process into Galatasaray Primary School were guaranteed a direct transition to Galatasaray High School. However, this practice has been discontinued to ensure a more merit-based selection system. Starting this coming academic year, only students who rank within the top 4% on the LGS (High School Entrance Exam) will be eligible for admission to Galatasaray High School. This decision reflects the institution's commitment to maintaining high academic standards and promoting a competitive environment among prospective students. The new policy aims to create a more equitable admissions process, allowing for a diverse pool of candidates who excel academically. The change has been met with mixed reactions from parents and educators, with some praising the move towards meritocracy, while others express concerns over accessibility for students from different backgrounds. As Galatasaray High School prepares for this transition, it remains focused on fostering educational excellence and preparing its students for future challenges. The administration expects that this new approach will attract highly qualified candidates, ultimately enhancing the school's reputation and academic outcomes.
