ISTANBUL (TR) - According to the data announced by OSYM, 2 million 607 thousand 606 people entered YKS this year, and 1 million 38 thousand 492 people entered LGS, according to the results announced by the Ministry of National Education. While it was announced that 52 percent of the university candidates were placed in one of their first three preferences, the Ministry of National Education announced that 93 percent of the students entered one of the schools that were among their preferences in the first placement. Now the eyes are on the new academic year that is about to start and the 2022 exam marathon. Nearly 4 million students are enrolled in courses to take the exams better equipped. Among the institutions that organize preparatory courses, Burak Yavuz Educational Institutions (BUYEK), which adopts a new generation education approach, stands out with its success rates. In addition to the current curriculum published by the Ministry of Education, BUYEK, which adopts interactive and thematic approaches during the education process, also draws attention with its services such as nutrition coach, psychologist support, breathing therapy, hammock yoga and gluten-free cafe.

Students doing breathing therapy

Burak Yavuz, the Founder of BUYEK, said that nearly a thousand students have contributed to the preparation process for high school and university so far, and said, “Every individual learns in a different format. Based on this idea, we apply formative tests in order to identify the deficiencies of our students, and we prepare personalized resources to make up for these deficiencies, thanks to the software we have. Therefore, while our students are preparing for the exams with the questions they really need, they do not waste time with other questions.” Underlining that they have a strong academic staff, all of whom have earned their Turkish degree and settled in the university, Burak Yavuz also said: “We are aware that exam preparation is not just about teaching, it should be evaluated holistically. With this perspective, we periodically apply breathing therapies to all our students. Thus, we both make the preparation process easier and minimize exam stress.”

Instead of a counselor, an expert psychologist

Pointing out that candidates preparing for the exam need a healthy nutrition program, Burak Yavuz said, "As our ancestors said, a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Therefore, the gluten-free cafe within our institution allows our children to consume healthy food. At the same time, it creates space for their socialization by interacting." Burak Yavuz said that hammock yoga performed by the students in the company of expert trainers facilitates the learning process by oxygenating the limbic system in the brain, and continued: "BUYEK does not have a counselor. We provide expert psychologist support so that our students can receive a more distinguished and solution-oriented service.In addition, every teacher in our academic staff also works as a branch mentor because they are experts in their fields.”

80 percent of university candidate trainees took place in the top 10 thousand

BUYEK, which prepares students for the exam with personalized education materials, acquisition-centered course contents and 24/7 teaching concept, also shared the statistics of the exam results. According to the statement made by the institution, nearly 75% of the students who entered LGS were in the 1st percentile, and nearly 20 percent in the 5th percentile. In YKS, 80 percent of the students entered the top 10 thousand and 5 percent entered the top thousand. It was announced that about 90 percent of the university candidates who attended BUYEK's preparatory courses entered the department they had chosen at the beginning, and 70 percent entered the university of their choice.
