Abstract: In this study, Turkey's education strategies and policy documents are systematically analyzed. The digital transformation, development and artificial intelligence (AI) compatibility of the analyzed documents were evaluated. In short it was aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the country's education policy. In the study, elements such as the purpose and scope of policy documents, main themes, objectives, findings, use of AI in education, educational success criteria and stakeholder opinions were analyzed in detail. In the study conducted using content analysis method, documents were selected according to certain criteria. Then, coding was done and themes were identified. The findings show that education policies in Turkey are shaped around main themes such as digital transformation, digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence in education. In particular, problems such as inequalities in education, teacher shortage and insufficient digital infrastructure come to the fore. It was also found that artificial intelligence offers important opportunities in education in areas such as personalized learning, teacher support and curriculum development, but there are ethical concerns such as data privacy and inequality. In order to solve the observed problems and accelerate the digital transformation of Turkey's education system and increase the use of AI, recommendations can be made such as improving digital infrastructure, improving teacher training, establishing ethical rules for the use of AI, digitalizing educational materials, involving stakeholders in the processes, and supporting R&D in AI education.
