Fatih College seeks to sign franchise agreements with other private schools

İstanbul's Fatih College is calling on other private schools that meet what the college calls the “Fatih criteria” to cooperate in the field of education via franchise agreements.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Mehmet Kıcıroğlu, the general manager of Fatih Education Institutions, said his college has been investing in quality, modernity and success since 1982. “We prepare our students for the next stage. We always aim to be one step ahead,” he said.

Kıcıroğlu listed the previous accomplishments of Fatih College students, which include successes at the International Science Olympiads and receiving high scores in national university entrance examinations, and added that the college now aims to bring its high-quality education across the nation in cooperation with other schools.

“Our goal is to grow and expand our educational services. But the Fatih criteria are very important. In terms of both the physical conditions and the quality of education, the schools must meet our criteria,” he added.

There are currently 54 schools on the list waiting to become Fatih Colleges from provinces including İstanbul, Adapazarı, Tekirdağ, Kırklareli and Zonguldak. All the Burç, Fetih, Ufuk, Çırağan and Sakarya Işık colleges in these provinces will become Fatih Colleges. Kıcıroğlu said the college aims to reach 100 schools within a few years.
