YETEV

What YETEV does

Yeni Türkiye Eğitim Vakfı (YETEV) is a private, non-profit education foundation headquartered in Çekmeköy, Istanbul, operating a multi-brand private school network serving K-12 students across the Istanbul metropolitan area. The foundation consolidates four distinct school brands: Yenidoğu Okulları (K-12, established 2015, four campuses), Palet Okulları (Montessori-based, established 2011, three campuses), İrfan Okulları (K-12), and Palet Türk Müziği İlkokulu (Turkey's first Turkish music-focused primary school, established 2019). Together these brands serve the full preschool-through-high-school pipeline with differentiated pedagogical models (Montessori, national curriculum with international language programs, and specialized Turkish music education) and deliver programming that includes annual Bursluluk ve Kabul Sınavı scholarship exams, English immersion camps (Yalova, London), teacher certification (MACTE-approved Montessori training), robotics/TEKNOFEST participation, archery, and science festivals.

YETEV generates revenue primarily through tuition and school fees (recurring, annual) supplemented by individual and corporate donations (Bireysel Bağış and Kurumsal Bağış). Pricing is quote-based and tied to scholarship outcomes from the annual entrance exam, which awards partial-to-full tuition coverage based on performance. The organization invests in proprietary curriculum assets (PROGEL), owns energy infrastructure (a 7,176-panel solar plant in Niğde's Bor district commissioned in 2024), and pursues a university-partnership-led ecosystem strategy (Boğaziçi, İbn Haldun, Cambridge University Press, Istanbul Medeniyet). The foundation operates under the governance of a Board of Trustees chaired by Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan, with Yusuf Tüfekçi as General Manager since December 2025.
