Turkish School Gradebook — 0–100 Secondary Scale with LGS and YKS Score Integration
Turkey's Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı (MEB) uses different grading frameworks across school levels: a 1–5 achievement scale at primary level (İlkokul, Grades 1–4) and a 0–100 percentage scale at secondary levels (Ortaokul Grades 5–8 and Lise Grades 9–12). OpenEduCat supports both scales, tracks LGS placement scores (Ortaokul graduates) and YKS university entrance scores (Lise graduates), and generates the official Karne PDF.
Grading Scales
Pre-configured grade bands shipped with the Turkey module. No manual setup required.
| Grade | Points / Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pekiyi / Excellent | 85–100 | Secondary scale: highest band. Grade letter: AA or BA depending on credit weight. Contributes to Year-End Achievement Grade (Yıl Sonu Başarı Puanı) with maximum weighting. |
| İyi / Good | 70–84 | Good performance band. Clear competency demonstrated. Passes the subject without remediation. |
| Orta / Satisfactory | 55–69 | Satisfactory performance. Passes the subject. Below this threshold (50–54) a student is conditionally passed per MEB Regulation Article 43. |
| Geçer / Pass | 50–54 | Marginal pass. MEB regulations allow a student to pass the year with up to two subjects in this band if the overall average is ≥50. |
| Zayıf / Weak | 25–49 | Fail. Subject must be retaken. More than two Zayıf grades at year-end result in grade retention. |
| Pekiyi (Primary 1–5) | 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 | Primary scale (İlkokul, Grades 1–4): descriptive 5-band scale. 5=Pekiyi, 4=İyi, 3=Orta, 2=Geçer, 1=Yetersiz. No percentage conversion at this level. |
What the Turkey Module Does
Country-specific features that go beyond the core gradebook engine.
Dual-Level Scale Support
Primary schools (İlkokul) use the 1–5 descriptive scale; secondary schools (Ortaokul and Lise) use the 0–100 percentage scale. The school level is set at campus configuration, automatically activating the correct scale and Karne format.
LGS Score Tracking (Grade 8 Placement)
The Liselere Geçiş Sistemi (LGS) is the national exam that places Grade 8 students into high schools. LGS scores are stored on the Grade 8 student record alongside the school GPA. Both are used in the ÖSYM-administered placement algorithm.
YKS University Entrance Score Integration
YKS (Yükseköğretim Kurumları Sınavı) scores are stored on the Lise Grade 12 record with sub-scores for AYT (field exam), TYT (core aptitude), and YDT (language exam). The Karne includes YKS results for graduates applying to university.
Karne PDF Generation
The Karne is the MEB official report card issued twice per year (first and second semester). OpenEduCat generates the Karne in MEB-standard format: school stamp, Okul Numarası (school code), TCKN (National ID), subject grid, grade, absence record, and teacher signature area.
Conduct and Attendance Integration
MEB Karne includes conduct (Davranış) and attendance (Devamsızlık) alongside academic grades. These fields are linked to the attendance module and the conduct record, appearing automatically on the Karne without manual entry.
Re-Attempt Policy
Telafi and Sorumluluk Sınavı — Remediation and Responsibility Exams
Students with Zayıf grades in one or two subjects take Telafi (makeup) exams in September. Students with Zayıf in three or more subjects repeat the academic year. For Lise students, a Sorumluluk Sınavı (responsibility exam) allows retesting in failed subjects. All exam types are tracked with their own date, result, and attempt-count fields.
How re-attempts affect the transcript
- The active grade (counted in GPA) is marked with an asterisk (*)
- Superseded or excluded grades are annotated with their status code
- All attempts appear on the transcript for full academic transparency
- Cleared, condoned, compensated, and exempted backlogs do not block graduation

Regulatory Alignment
Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı (MEB) — Ministry of National Education, Turkey | Ortaöğretim Yönetmeliği (Secondary Education Regulation) | ÖSYM for YKS
The Turkey gradebook module pre-configures grading scales, assessment templates, re-attempt policies, and transcript formats to align with the requirements set by Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı (MEB) — Ministry of National Education, Turkey | Ortaöğretim Yönetmeliği (Secondary Education Regulation) | ÖSYM for YKS. The data structures, computation rules, and report formats follow the standards your accreditation body expects to see during institutional audits.
Grade distributions, pass rates, GPA trends, and classification statistics can all be exported to Excel for submission during accreditation reviews. The structured data makes it straightforward to pull the specific metrics your accreditation criteria require.
