Abstract	Germany, which reorganized its industry after the second world war, met a serious workforce insufficiency in the 1960s and tried to compensate this workforce deficit from developing countries. During these years there occurred big worker immigration to Germany from Turkey, which had a serious unemployment problem and an active population. The problems that could have stemmed from such an immigration movement did not receive enough and serious attention neither from Turkey, which sent the workers nor from Germany, which invited these workers. On the contrary, these workers were considered as foreign currency income by the Turkish government, and as a cheap workforce by the German government. In addition, the German government believed that these were guest workers and when the due day came they would go back to their countries. However, Turkish workers started to call their families to Germany from the 1970s on and had the purpose of staying in this country in the long term. In this country, where the third generation has been receiving education, the education and integration problems of Turkish children have always been on the agenda. They have various educational problems from pre-school education and vocational education to higher education. Furthermore, they came across with the thread from various fundamentalist religious or political organizations. In our age, as there have occurred such approaches as multiculturalism and cross-culturalism, realistic steps have to be taken in order to avoid the dangers that might stem from the integration problems of Turkish youth in Germany. In this study, such an integration problem will be discussed and some practical solutions will be put forward. (As Provided).
