Upon graduation from elementary school, students do not take exams. After graduating from high school, children take exams and, based on the results, they can choose a suitable lyceum.
Lyceums are divided into several types:
General education (Anadolu lisesi)

Focus on scientific disciplines (Fen lisesi)
