What is the Teaching Public Service in The Digital age syllabus?

The syllabus is a set of open-access teaching materials created to help professors and educators teach master’s level students the skills they need to thrive as public servants in the digital era. It has been designed to fit amongst the core required modules of masters programmes in public administration and public policy but is flexible enough to be taught to a range of master’s students in different disciplines. It is currently being used by professors in 70 universities in 30 countries, including Oxford University, Carnegie Mellon University and Yeditepe University.  

The Turkish translation and editing of the syllabus have been expertly led by Dr.Naci Karkin (United Nations University-The Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance) and Asst. Prof. Dr. Hande Tek Turan (Yeditepe University). With the Turkish translation, the syllabus is now accessible in six languages, further broadening its global reach and impact.
