Abstract	The progress of Turkish institutions of higher learning as such progress relates to economics or commercial education is described. The presentation is by a visiting Turkish scholar at the Thut World Education Center. The content of Turkish economic education is cited with some of its theoretical problems identified. Various methodological and technical issues that are encountered in practice are noted, and questions are raised about improvements in the quality of economic education in Turkey, even though the number of faculty members of economic studies has increased. It is noted that the progress of economics as a social science in Turkey has been historically delayed and is a dependent one. A general evaluation of the traditional theory of economics is given to help assess the content of Turkish economic education. Three main points to address when organizing programs of economic education in Turkey are: (1) the Turkish economy should be considered and analyzed with particular attention; (2) the Turkish economy and the entire science of economics must be analyzed from an historical perspective; and (3) abstract mathematical analysis should be utilized only in so far as it does not veil the actual economic problems of Turkey. Some of the factors limiting the quality of economic education in Turkey are the crowded classrooms, lack of well-written textbooks, insufficient research, and outdated instructional methods. (SM)
