In this study, associations, foundations, and unions from non-governmental organizations, active in the field of education in Turkey, have been observed and analyzed. In the results of the study, it is seen that in general terms non-governmental organizations, and in specific terms educational non-governmental organizations don’t have contemporary qualifications in “Western sense” in Turkey. Considering to developed countries, it is seen that 3 different sectors go hand in hand both in education and in other service areas. These are public sector, private sector, and third sector, i.e. non-governmental organizations. But it is known that the majority of the work in the field of education is carried out by the state, and non-governmental organizations have little effect compared to the state. Whereas it is known that non-governmental organizations have a great power both determining policy, and researching and providing financial opportunities to education in developed countries.
