Abstract :This study compares education rights across countries and regions, highlighting similarities and differences in policy approaches and outcomes. Singapore from Asia, Finland from Europe, South Korea from the Far East, and Turkiye were included in the study according to the OECD\\\'s education ranking. The right-to-education policies in countries with successful education systems were analyzed to determine their similarities and differences from Turkiye. By considering the laws of these countries, similar and different practices related to the right to education are compared. Within the scope of the research, an overview of the countries\\\' right to education policies, national and regional differences, similarities, international conventions in the right to education policies, and cultural values in the right to education policies were examined and interpreted. The research was qualitative, and a case study, a qualitative research method, was used. Various sources concerning the educational policies of the countries were analyzed in depth. While structuring Turkish education policies, it is assumed that countries such as Singapore, South Korea, and Finland, which are successful in education, can guide the Turkish education policy system from different perspectives and provide new visionary ideas for reinterpreting Turkiye’s right to education.
