| description | The purpose of this descriptive study was to evaluate the aid policies regarding the poor students with low socioeconomic levels implemented at schools. In this qualitative study, purposive sampling technique was used. The participants involved 55 school administrators and 19 teachers working at different school stages in Tokat during 2016-2017 academic year. The data of the study were collected semi-structured open-ended questions. The semi-structured form involved questions regarding the types of aids carried out at schools, their frequency, the funding of aids, and the things to be done about them. The data were analyzed using content analysis technique. The necessary measures were taken to increase validity and reliability during data collection and analysis. As a result, it was found that the schools lacked systematic common policies regarding poor students with low socioeconomic levels and the policies mostly depended on parent-teacher associations’ budgets and private income created by schools in various ways. Although the efforts of schools are significant, it can be seen that regulatory and holistic policies are required at a macro level. When the schools are allocated budgets, some criteria should be set to eliminate the injustice among schools; especially those involving poor students with low socioeconomic levels, and the budgets should be allocated based on these criteria. |
