Doğa Schools, or Arı İnovasyon ve Bilim Eğitim Hizmetleri Anonim Şirketi, is a chain of private educational institutions in Turkey that offers education from kindergarten through high school. The chain owns nearly 100 schools, over 20 of which are in Istanbul.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Fethi Şimsek opened the first Doğa School in 2002 in Beykoz. Şimsek had a background in running chains of preparatory schools for high school and university entrance exams, and English Time, a chain of English language courses.[2]
Financial problems
[edit | edit source]In 2019, the teachers in several different Doğa Schools protested because upper management had delayed paying their salaries one to five months.[3] The ownership no longer had the money to keep the schools running. As a result, in 2020 Istanbul Technical University bought the chain for 12 million TL. The chain was later purchased by Can Education Group, which also owns the private Istanbul Bilgi University, in 2022.[1][4][5]
