Özet

The educational integration of migrant minors in Türkiye has presented significant challenges, influenced by various socio-cultural, economic, and infrastructural factors. This scoping review aims to systematically explore the barriers to education faced by migrant minors in Türkiye. It evaluates the extent of research undertaken, the representation of diverse migrant populations and geographic areas, the methodologies employed, and the effectiveness of current educational strategies and policies. Utilizing the PRISMA-ScR framework, 35 studies were analyzed, identifying key themes such as educational challenges, socio-cultural integration, and support systems. Results show major barriers including linguistic hurdles, cultural integration difficulties, psychological support deficiencies, economic constraints, and infrastructural shortcomings. Despite extensive research, there is a lack of holistic educational approaches, highlighting a need for policies that address both immediate educational needs and broader socio-cultural integration with adequate resources. Future studies should explore diversified methodologies and focus on the longitudinal impacts of educational barriers.
