Şişli Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi

What Şişli Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi does

Şişli Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi is a public vocational and technical high school located in Istanbul's Şişli district, Turkey. Founded in 1960-1961 as İstanbul Motor Sanat Enstitüsü, the institution operates under the Republic of Turkey Ministry of National Education (T.C. Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı) and delivers secondary education across four technical disciplines: Information Technologies, Electrical-Electronics Technologies, Metal Technologies, and Motor Vehicles Technology. Current enrollment is approximately 1,582 students supported by 126-127 teachers across 33 classrooms, 23 workshops, and 10 laboratories, with student recruitment conducted through Turkey's centralized LGS (Liselere Geçiş Sistemi) national examination placement system.

The school operates industry-standard training laboratories established through long-running partnerships with major OEMs including Toyota (Turkey's first Toyota Technical Training Program, signed 1992-1993 with Toyota-Sabancı), Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Fiat, Honda, Bosch, Mazda, Buga-Otis (elevator and escalator systems), Schneider Electric (industrial automation), and Oerlikon-Magmaweld (welding). These partnerships supply manufacturer-certified equipment and provide direct pathways to industry-recognized certifications. The school additionally participates in EU-funded mobility programs including Erasmus+ and Leonardo da Vinci, with student placements at partner institutions in Bulgaria, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Estonia. International recognitions include first place in the theoretical examination at the Mechanic Junior 2015 automotive technician competition in Austria, a fourth-place team finish, and Erasmus+ Quality Awards from 2013 and 2016.

The institution is fully funded through government educational appropriations under the Turkish Ministry of National Education with no tuition fees charged to students. It has expanded its portfolio to include the MESEM (Mesleki Eğitim Merkezi) workplace-based vocational training program and Open High School adult education tracks, and in May 2026 participated in the Employment-Oriented Cooperation Protocol in Vocational Education signing ceremony with Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin. From a historical peak of 5,951 students and 259 teachers in the 2014-2015 academic year, current scale represents a substantial contraction in student and teacher headcount relative to that peak.
