Considering the increase of the interest in studying abroad from the first day OPTIMA International Education Agency started to take part in the industry actively since 1991 and the lack of printed materials in Turkish; we have been trying to do our best to serve our readers the most effective, detailed, reputable and as a matter of fact, the best selling publications at the Education Abroad Newsletter and the Destination Abroad Guidebook.

Suggestions both from the readers and the schools constructed the content as well as the recent developments in the education abroad sector. Suggestions and criticisms will be continued to be our guidance.

At the beginning og the year 2011 we decided to make extensive changes in our publications. From now on Egitim Abroad name will be changed to our company’s name: Optima.. Nevertheless this change will not only effect the name but also it will carry on some basic changes too.

• The magazine will be converted to Newspaper.
• The outlook and contents of the Newspaper will be more dynamic and up-to-date.
• Newspaper will be published as four issue per year.

With those last changes, Optima Newspaper will be continuing its role as an introducer for the schools which are interested in Turkey in more effective way than usual while it provides the information to the Turkish students that they need.
