The Outlook of Society 2022: Post-Pandemic Society


The COVID-19 pandemic, which has been the overwhelming agenda of the world from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2022, is gradually wiped off the face of the earth. While concepts such as lockdown, isolation, mask, distance, contact, and dose are left behind, it is now necessary to evaluate the pandemic's social, economic, and institutional dimensions in a multidimensional way, besides the medical dimension. The question is simple but challenging: In what direction is society moving in all areas, from marriage to aging, from law to urbanization, after the pandemic? What have we learned from the pandemic? What should we learn?   The Outlook of Society 2022 report was prepared in response to this question under the theme of Post-Pandemic Society. The experience of the pandemic and the dynamics that emerged in the transition to the post-pandemic period are examined through key indicators in 16 different categories. In addition, detailed analyses prepared by experts on health, family, education, working life, and inequalities sheds light on the multidimensional nature of the social reality. With its key findings and recommendations, The Outlook of Society 2022 report evaluates the post-pandemic transition from a datadriven perspective for researchers, policymakers, civil society, and industries.

EDUCATION IN THE TURKEY OF THE FUTURE


The first report prepared under the Turkey of the Future project is on education, where our country has long been in a search for stability and methodology. The report aims to realistically study in 2018 what needs to be accomplished when looking forward to 2030 using quantitative and qualitative data. In this context, the study begins by explaining the state of education in the new millennium and the problems experienced from this perspective. The context necessary in resolving the issues and bettering current circumstances has been also emphasized in the purview of the report. Along with these improvements, students’ national and international examination performances are also analyzed. Finally, the developed policies, solution recommendations, and improvements have been presented in 12 points on the vision of the future. In preparing the report, the primary framework has been shaped by the relevant scientific literature, the framework and principal values established by the İLKE Foundation for Science, Culture and Education within the scope of the Turkey of the Future Project, and the educational perspectives of the research team. Besides multidisciplinarity and systems approach, locality and originality have been the two principal values when preparing this report.   The first report prepared under the Turkey of the Future project is on education, where our country has long been in a search for stability and methodology.
