In Turkish Education System, there has not been a fundamental philosophical and structural change for a long time. Under the current context of COVID-19 outbreak, there has been nationwide school closures all around the world, and a new era in education has begun. In this period, education is expected to go through an inevitable structural change. In this paper, accordingly, we proposed to minimize and restrict the powers hold by National Ministry of Education (NME). Hence, Education and Training Policies Board would be the highest and influential authority in policy making while NME would function as an executive unit. Meanwhile, local authorities would be supported to make decisions to meet local needs. Aside the structural change, Education is in a need to obtain a new philosophical stance. Accordingly, as the main pillars of education we need to redefine the notions of school, teacher and student. In this respect, we can define school as the institution for supporting learning, teacher as a guide for students, and student as an ultimate learner who can learn from anyone at anywhere. Hence, while schools and teachers would act the roles of providing learning opportunities and regulating learning; students would perceive themselves not as instructed individuals but as autonomous learners. Therefore, in the future, schools, teachers and students would be resilient to unforeseen negative social events similar to the current pandemic conditions.
