The aim of the study was to investigate secondary school students’ and teachers’ access to information technologies in Turkey by making interregional comparisons. Document analysis of the qualitative research methods was employed to analyze the reports issued by the Turkish Ministry of National Education, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The results of the research revealed the importance of access to information and communication technologies for both students and teachers: 67.9% of the participating students were found to have Internet connection and 69.1% a computer in their homes, while 80.3% of the students were observed to use a computer outside the school, but 19.7% were not. The results also showed that 64.6% of the students have Internet connection in their classrooms, but 29.2% of these students do not use the Internet in the classroom, whereas 8.9% use it in the classroom all the time. The rate of students using a digital device for reading is 38.1%, while that of those not using one is 61.9%. Some 32.1% of secondary school students were revealed not to have Internet connection at home. Additionally, 77% of teachers were not trained in online teaching prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the findings, teachers can be suggested to develop projects – i.e., of TUBITAK, E-twinning, and Erasmus – which potentially encourage students to use information and communication technologies so that both teachers and students can benefit from them. It is also suggested that the Ministry of National Education should work on improving the information communication technology competencies of teachers and students. Besides, policies should be developed to eliminate regional differences in terms of access to digital resources and technology in terms of equal opportunities and opportunities.

该研究的目的是通过区域间比较来调查土耳其中学生和教师使用信息技术的情况。使用定性研究方法的文献分析来分析土耳其国家教育部，土耳其统计局（TUIK）和国际学生评估计划（PISA）发布的报告。研究结果表明，对于学生和教师来说，获取信息和通信技术的重要性：发现参加活动的学生中有67.9％可以连接互联网，家里有69.1％的计算机，而观察到的学生中有80.3％在学校外使用计算机，但没有19.7％。结果还显示，有64.6％的学生在教室里有互联网连接，但其中29.2％的学生不在教室里使用互联网，而8.9％的学生一直在教室里使用互联网。使用数字设备阅读的学生比例为38.1％，而不使用数字设备的学生比例为61.9％。大约32.1％的中学生被发现在家中没有互联网连接。此外，在COVID-19大流行之前，有77％的教师没有接受在线教学的培训。根据这些发现，可以建议教师开发一些项目，例如TUBITAK，E-twining和Erasmus的项目，这些项目可能会鼓励学生使用信息和通信技术，以便老师和学生都可以从中受益。还建议国民教育部应努力提高师生的信息通信技术能力。除了，
