Erol Bilecik, who has consistently emphasized the importance of projects aimed at improving educational opportunities for young people throughout Turkey, decided in the early 2000s to establish an educational institution in Hatay together with his family. The Bilecik family, who found the slogan “Vocational high school: A matter of national importance” to be very meaningful, decided to bring the finest example of this to life in their hometown. Construction of the Hatay Erol Bilecik Technical and Industrial Vocational High School began in 2007, and the school opened in 2008. Currently, this technical and industrial vocational high school—which boasts the best facilities and the most favorable technical and organizational conditions in Turkey—is preparing over 3,000 students for their professional careers. The school continues to move forward with confident strides, improving its academic achievements year after year.
