Is this the start of the cull ?
« on: August 27, 2014, 11:54:00 AM »
The ruling AKP government has removed all school principals in Turkey who completed four years in their duty and replaced them with pro-government teachers.

More detail on the dismissal of 7,000 principals based on contentious performance evaluation tests that were suspected of being politically motivated and aimed at removing members of unions not supportive of AKP.

I wouldn't describe this as "the start of the cull", but more a logical progression (in the Islamists eyes) of what has been happening over the past 8/9mths.  The removal of secularists and good, honest and professional educators is not unexpected given the religious agenda within the education system in Turkey.  Unfortunately, its not just the teachers that have been targeted, but students as well:

And the new Prime Minister to be today announced that he intends to put right 90 years of damage to the Turkish Republic.

Would those be the Ataturk years. ?

What is the agenda then?

1. Taking away women's right to education and voting.
2. Abolition of surnames.
3. Reverting to arabic script (my avatar has already made this change).
4. Returning to a population that is less than 10% literate (#3 should help with that).
5. Using the arabic hijri calendar = today is DAY Wednesday 1st, MONTH Thw al-Qi`dah, YEAR 1435 A.H.
6. All men to wear the fez (that should stimulate the poorly performing clothing industry).
7. And, eventually, abolition of the "Republic" itself.

I'm sure other can add some missing items. But I can't see any of this being a problem for British holidaymakers and expats.

Erdogan has said he wants schools to educate a whole generation of pious youth. So that's what he thinks religion has to do with education - and he is busily making it happen (he hopes).
