摘要：The educational position of children of first-generation Turkish
parents is widely considered problematic both in the Netherlands and
elsewhere in Europe. Together with children from the Maghreb,
Turkish children occupy the lowest position on the educational ladder.
This however masks the fact that in twenty years spectacular gains in
education have been made. More than a quarter of Turkish youth now
enter higher education. This article describes these gains and tries to
explain how they came about. A crucial factor is the changing attitude
towards education in the Turkish community. Education increasingly
has a positive connotation. Equally important is the growing expertise
and knowledge available within the community. In the close-knit
Turkish community, educational resources find their way to more and
more youngsters in the form of help and support by older siblings and
community projects.
