Socio-spatial segregation has always been a big phenomenon for cities and it is getting more crucial while the social and spatial environment of cities transforming and restructuring in line with the hegemony of globalization. This study aims at discussing the socio-spatial segregation of education in Ankara city for 478 Ankara neighborhoods from 2008 to 2014 regarding the three education levels, primary, secondary and tertiary, respectively. To do so, we analyzed the spatial distribution and spatial dependency of the socio-spatial segregation of all education levels. Then, we estimated how the spatial distribution and spatial dependency of the socio-spatial segregation of all education levels are evolved, spatially. Advanced spatial analyses methodologies like the exploratory spatial data analyses, segregation measures, and spatial statistics methods are used for uncovering the spatial dynamics of educational segregation in Ankara. This study reports significant results (i) each educational level have different trends and spatial dependency patterns are apparent in the socio-spatial segregation, (ii) tertiary education level has a fast decreasing trend, (iii) the south-north dualism restructured.
