However, this situation necessitates systematic and effective ethics education. In this regard, teachers, the implementers of educational programmes, play a critical role in conveying ethical values to their students.

Because Turkish national curriculum has been developed and adapted according to the abilities and learning capacity of normal students, it does not meet the educational needs of gifted children. In this context, we need new suggestions in order to enrich the existing learning environments and be able to design new programs and build new cooperation for gifted children. Considering the principles of informal and formal education system, this study proposes two different fields of implementation which takes into account both the scientific findings retrieved from the previous studies conducted in developed countries and the contextual factors which pertain to Turkey. At the basis of these suggestions which are based on the principles of formal education system is the notion of “Academy of Science” which serves the special needs of the exceptionally gifted and the profoundly gifted. This study also proposes the continuation and development of the Science and Art Centres (BILSEM) project for the benefit for other gifted students as an application of informal education system. In the informal education, the proposed applications apart from BİLSEMs include summer school programs, afterschool programs, science centres, family support services, informal adult education and distance education.

This study was conducted with the qualitative case study method, based on the experiences of an international student. The research found that with the declaration of the pandemic, some international students were besieged in their host countries; they were confronted with difficulties in returning to their homes, and their education and apprenticeships were interrupted. Students who could not return to their home country went through intense stress and anxiety in terms of accommodation, having access to food, financial resources, and medical supplies. This experience has caused international students to become more skeptical about continuing with mobility and has caused candidate international students to change their countries of preference. On the other hand, this does not appear to be the case for countries and universities that successfully managed the pandemic and did not sp...

In this phenomenological study, the data were collected by using a semi-structured interview form with 14 academic staff members teaching in public universities in Istanbul, Ankara, Edirne, Izmir, and Manisa.
