Turkey's Ministry of National Education announced the results of the second transfer round under the 2026 High School Transition System on August 14 at 09:56 local time. The release follows the first transfer results published on August 10 and closes the two regular transfer stages. Students can check their individual outcome through the Ministry's official results service. The announcement also sets out a separate route for students who still have not been placed in any school.
The second transfer round is complete
According to the Ministry, publication of the second transfer results completes the two transfer rounds that followed the initial high-school placement. Anadolu Agency independently reported the announcement, citing the Ministry's written statement, and confirmed that the results are now available. The official notice does not provide a new nationwide ranking, a revised list of cut-off scores, or an analysis of placement trends. Claims about broader success rates therefore cannot be drawn from this announcement alone.
A commission-based stage runs from August 17 to 26
Students who remain unplaced after the second transfer round may apply for remaining vacancies between August 17 and August 26. These applications will be handled by provincial and district student placement and transfer commissions. This is a separate commission-based stage rather than a repeat of the second transfer round. The Ministry says the overall placement process will be completed on August 28, 2026.
The distinction matters because the next step depends on the result shown in the official system. Students who have received a placement will follow the registration process applicable to that school. Students shown as unplaced must instead monitor the commission application window. The national announcement does not specify the local office hours or the full document list for every district. Those operational details need to be confirmed through the relevant provincial or district education authority.
Boarding applications follow a different calendar
The Ministry also published a later timetable for boarding applications. Schools and institutions will accept these applications from August 31 through September 3. Boarding placement results are scheduled for September 4, and registration records will then be entered through the e-Boarding system. This timetable is distinct from the general school placement calendar, so students considering boarding should track both sets of dates separately.
The result screen and local procedure are separate
The national results service shows a student's placement status, while local education authorities will administer the commission stage. Viewing an outcome and completing a new application are therefore not the same step. The national notice does not name one universal application desk or document list for every district. Unplaced students should check current instructions from their responsible district authority before the window opens and rely on official channels for the local procedure. The national dates form the main timetable, while local implementation details may be announced separately.
The verified dates at a glance
The second transfer results became available on August 14. Commission applications for students who remain unplaced will run from August 17 to August 26, with the placement process due to finish on August 28. Boarding applications are scheduled for August 31 to September 3, and boarding results for September 4. Anadolu Agency's report matches the Ministry's dates and confirms that the result can be checked through the official government service.
The Ministry's results page and official notices are the authoritative sources for each student's status. Screenshots circulating on social media, undated lists, or guidance from previous years may not reflect the 2026 process. Students using the commission route should verify their personal result first and then follow current instructions from the education authority responsible for their district. Where the national notice is silent on documents or local procedures, an official local notice should be treated as the source of record.
