Educational Rights for Turkish Women
There have been many different education
reforms in Turkey, but the women are still not receiving education as much as
the men. With the different reforms that were six main principles that they
went by. Two of these principals went right along with educations which are: Secularism
and Revolution. These two were a very important aspect with helping with
education. The principals as a whole are known to as: Kemalism which is what
they go. “Kemalism was one of the main reasons that education and literacy
increased and spread around girls and boys ‘equally’ after the establishment of
the Republic” (wordpress.com).The process for women to have the same education,
and be equal to the men has been a problem for many years. The problem has been
a slow process. Eventually it has become the duty of the government to provide
the right equal education for both male and female. The principles that they
are going by are respected very strongly. There have been times when they have
tried to get rid of them. One of the major reasons they claim that women are
not receiving education is because the lack of the funding in Turkey for the
public education.
Also in Turkey the primary schools are offered,
but many of the girls cannot attend due to religious beliefs. This is the
begging of the unequal right to the women. This is a problem that is usually
located in the eastern areas of the country. A student named Tolga described
that he has seen many effect around the world that dealt with education, he
stated that round the eastern area is the worst, and it had affected many
families in many ways. Places that are rural they have a harder chance of racing
education like everyone else. A lot of the people that are located on the
eastern part of Turkish are the ones that will likely only finish primary
education. In the article it states that “The gender role in rural parts is
more pronounced than it is in urban parts. Many girls don’t receive any
education although it is unconstitutional, and this is mainly due to the
parents and what they call traditional (wordpress.com).”They are continually
coming up with different reasons why women are not offered education, one of
the other reasons are that the areas do not have enough facilities to hold the
women to be taught, and the amount of education: which they believe they cannot
afford.
