Özet:

 This study aims to evaluate the reflections of the financial resource problem in primary schools on education and equality of opportunity for students. The study group of the research conducted in the form of a case study, one of the qualitative research methods, consists of 15 primary school administrators working in public schools in Turhal district of Tokat province. In the formation of the study group of the research, extreme sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods, was preferred. The data of the study were collected with a semi-structured interview form and the obtained data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. As a result of the research, it was seen that the financing problem in primary schools was associated with the neoliberal policies followed after 1980, the conservative structure resisting change and the central administration approach. In addition, it was concluded that the efforts to create a financial source damaged the identity of teachers and school administrators, segregated schools in terms of quality, limited the opportunity for students to receive equal education and caused inequality of opportunity. Within the scope of the study, it is recommended to calculate the annual cost per student in primary schools and to make arrangements for school-based allocation of a fair budget according to the quality of the socioeconomic environment in which the school is located.

 Bu çalışma ilkokullardaki mali kaynak sorununun eğitime ve öğrencilerin fırsat eşitliğine yansımalarının değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum araştırması şeklinde yürütülen araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Tokat ili Turhal ilçesinde kamu okullarında görev yapan 15 ilkokul yöneticisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunun oluşturulmasında amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden aykırı durum örneklemesi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmanın verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuyla toplanmış ve elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda ilkokullardaki finansman sorununun 1980 sonrası izlenen neoliberal politikalar, değişime direnen muhafazakâr yapı ve merkezi yönetim anlayışıyla ilişkilendirildiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca finansman kaynağı oluşturma çabalarının öğretmen ve okul yöneticisi kimliğine zarar verdiği, okulları nitelik olarak ayrıştırdığı, öğrencilerin eşit eğitim alma olanağını sınırlayarak fırsat eşitsizliğine yol açtığı sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında ilkokullarda yıllık öğrenci başı maliyetin hesaplanması ve okulun bulunduğu sosyoekonomik çevrenin niteliğine göre adil bir bütçenin okul bazlı tahsisi yönünde düzenlemelere gidilmesi önerilmektedir.
