"I believe that today, the most important issue in the world is education, but as a matter of fact,  the main idea in itself is providing international opportunities of good quality. I have faith that if these opportunities are provided, the Turkish youth will be able to compete in the world with ease. In accordance with this philosophy, I first established Çağ College, and thenBayboğan Educational Foundation and finally I managed to establish my dream "Çağ University". I have provided all my material and moral support for the success of these foundations. I believe that if we provide the greatest opportunities to the young people in our country in education, they will be successful in life."

Yaşar Bayboğan was born in Karaisalı, Adana in 1937.He was the founder of the first Foundation University in Anatolia, and the son of a farmer.

After graduating from Adana Commercial High School, he went to İstanbul University to study economics .He also did his Master's Degree at the same university. In this period, he also gave lectures at İstanbul University. During this period, he also became the president of Çukurova Community .At that time he solved the ongoing problem of providing dormitories with a zero-based budget by buying two dormitories; one in Ankara, and the other in İstanbul.

 On graduating from university, he became a bank examiner at Emlak Bank, and was the youngest manager in the Adana Central Drictory. That branch of the bank, of which he was the manager, was recognised as the most profitable branch. Besides, Bayboğan had an important role in setting up the Commercial Academy in Adana.

Five years later, he established the Bayboğan Educational Foundation. In 1997 he established the first Foundation University of Anatolia.
