With the National Education Basic Law No. 1739, the principle of "equality of opportunity", it has been made legal to ensure that all children in school age in our country can access education services under equal conditions. In this research, it is aimed to identify the problems experienced in ensuring equality of opportunity in the and to offer suggestions that can bring solutions to these problems. A focus group interview was conducted within the scope of the research, which was carried out in line with descriptive analysis, one of the qualitative research designs. The study group of the research consists of a 25-person focus group consisting of school managers, teachers and students from Elazig, Turkey. The data obtained in the research were interpreted by subjecting them to content analysis. As a result of the research, managerial problems related to equal opportunity arise in the themes of quality, planning and financial performance, teacher problems arise in professional development and systemic practices, and student problems are gathered under the themes of academic success and social activity.
