The Kurdish Communities Union (KCK) which is a Turkish based
organization wants to boycott to demand that schools should teach in their
native Kurdish language. They currently speak in Turkish language. They are
also trying to persuade parents to not send their children to school for the
first week of school during the new school year. It is stated they have all the
right to seek education in their mother tongue, but the ways they seek these
rights have to in the right way. The government system in Turkey has been
working on reforms to offer the right to receive education in the mother tongue.
Government officials still have many objections to the change, and they stated
that the situation is not on their agenda. They looked over it and it is something
that they don’t want to spend much time on it, but it still hasn’t been laid in
stone as to what they will decide to do.
Overall as stated
before the KCK, parents, and children have a right; the right to an education
in the mother tongue is a basic human right ((WorldBullention.net-Article)).
The government is not taking this basic human right seriously, and the
community feels that they should not close the door completely in this issue of
an education in the mother tongue; as it will cause a great public disappointment
((WorldBullention.net-Article)).
Even though the government is trying to bypass this situation, locals feels
they should at least acknowledge that education in the mother tongue is a basic right for all and keep it that
way, even if the change might happen or not. Showing that they disagree will
come a lot of issues. Either if parents send or don’t send their children to
school; there decision should be respected. In the days that come majority of
parents sent their children to school, disregarding KCK boycott.
This article really shows that people will fight for what
they believe in. Having there mother language thought in the school was fairly
important. KCK wanted the parents to be on their side by keeping their children
at home. Before finding out the outcome. It might of have been that the parents
were going to follow KCK, but they didn’t. Analyzing the education I, and how
everyone does not have the opportunity to go. It seems that the parents were
not concerned about what language education was spoken. I seemed that they just
cared about education, and didn’t want to manipulate the opportunity of having
an education offed to their children
