Turkish Education in Native
Language
This week it was decided that the
education in Turkey will be taught in their native language. This will start
during the 2014-2015 school year. The changes will only be implemented if there
are only enough students that will sign up for the classes. The national education gave the private schools
the opportunity to choose what languages that they will want to study. It was stated in the article that “Education
in foreign language would cover the languages of Kurdish dialects Kurmanji and
Zazaki, Bosnian, Arabic and Laz” (WorldBullention.net-Article).All of the lessons would be taught in the mother language during
the education time. Many of the lessons that are in Turkish will not be taken
out. They plan to incorporate any many languages as they can. All of the
private schools will be similar to college’s that teach in a diverse way. Some
of the schools are made to still continue to teach in Turkish, because it is
already set in place.
Many feel that a lot of the Turkish lessons
are very important to the minorities. They will still continue to sing the
Turkish national anthem. Also with the change in the education being in the
native language; they have also removed to student oath that was done daily. At
first it was a requirement that every child said it. The starting period process
of the student oath began in the year of 1933, and the actual date in which it
was carried out in the schools was 1930. When the oath came about it really
changed the world as a whole. During this day and time a lot of things have
change. Things have changes since that time; when then new era came around they
have to shift with the new systems. They are also trying to life the ban of headscarf’s;
many of the women teachers had to leave the teaching facility because of the
band. The government is In the process of lifting the ban so that the teachers
came come back
The community has been trying to incorporate
the education to teach in the native language. This really meant a lot for the community.
They felt the need to continue in their mother language; because sooner or
later it would have been lost if no one continues to speak in the native language.
Changing the education to the native language will allow the children to be
more diverse in their own schools. I am
glad that they have made the decision to teach in the native language, because
tit meant a lot the people of Turley. They wanted to children to grow up and
learn the same language that they did to continue on throughout the generations.
I know that now since the government has allowed the school system to teach in
the native language this makes the community feel appreciated. When someone
puts a request out there, you want your request to be heard on each and every
way. Not only will the children learn and become more knowledge of the native language;
the community will grow very close since they know that they will be heard. I
am glad that there native language will be implemented in the schools. They
have been fighting for this for many years. It finally came to past. I know
that that are many proud parents knowing that there children will be learning an
important language that means a lot to them.
