• Within the framework of criteria determined by YÖK, “University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports” are published annually. Based on these reports, quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions are shared with the public by YÖK.

• YÖK also publishes the “Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report” annually, which includes academic, administrative, and financial data related to foundation higher education institutions. These reports contain both quantitative and qualitative evaluations and are made public by YÖK.
