Err...  not sure you'll be allowed to write that - actually, not sure you'll be allowed to write at all.

Thanks for the link John, she says in a suitably deferential and hushed tone, averting eyes while simultaneously blushing  ;D

So do the past 90 years include the last ten?

Quote "The new program does not aim to regress 90 years back but rather seeks to repair the republic, democracy, foreign policy and a model of the economy that has been “injured” for the past 90 years"

Aye right... we should just move your post to the jokes section now.

But seriously, the way things are done in regions like Erzurum or Ağrı is what they want.  Lets all be pious and make sure our little women know their place both in the family and society in general.  Child brides, regular beatings, rape and honour killings that go unpunished...  and he calls it restoration.   

The Gülenists had also batten down the hatches, they're all in for a rough ride too.

In fact, anyone other than a pious, semi literate, male, AK supporter is in for a hard time over the short to medium term in Turkey.

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).

I sincerely hope the electorate see things differently

The Electorate will no doubt agree that it is ok for the Dictator to cast their vote for them.

Soon it will no longer be ISIL but ISILIT (Including Turkey).

Islamists don't fear a "Holy" War, they WANT one!

I do hope that the people rightly throwing their hands up in horror at these changes in education in Turkey, are also as concerned about education in UK too.  In case people haven't noticed there has been increasing control by religious organisations in UK education too.  Rejuvinated in recent years by the Labour Party- to its eternal shame - led by St. Tony of Blair, a religious nutter like Reg, but continued on by the present Con-Dem government too.

So as well as the 'traditional' state schools for Jews, CoE, R.C and Methodists, we can add to that a growing list of various intolerant, backward looking organisations such as Happy Clappy Christian fundamentalists, Seven Day Adventists, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu to name a few.  It will not be long before the Mormons are in on the act and indeed the Scientologists.  With the record of all these religious organisations I am always surprised that we allow them any role in the education of the nation's young.

NO RELIGION ON THE RATES

I quite agree with you UBT, all education should be secular and concern itself with a decent standard of reading writing and maths, together with science subjects, maybe languages and some arts. Also life skills like budgeting, and practical skills.
 
If religion is taught at all it should be an optional subject and all faiths should be explored and discussed equally.
