TURKISH EDUCATION AND 4+4+4
Turkish education system has
undergone a lot of changes through history. Lately there is a new system that
dividing the compulsory education into 3 phases which are 4+4+4. This system
has drawn reaction from in Turkey. First of all, opposing parties objected to
this system due to its content. Because, they think that it’s an on purpose
action from government. They defend that government wants to integrate some
ideological structures into educational system. For example, turban is a
controversial and elective Quran course makes available to wear turban in
secondary grades at schools. Secondly,
civil people have also reacted against the government because of this system.
Some parents defend that their children shouldn’t be compelled for some
obligatory courses which are actually should be elective.
Another parent
reaction is that turban should not be put into primary schools. Because,
according to them, school should not consist of religious content. The last but
not the least is that the cost of this change is very high, and opposing
parties are thinking it as waste of money. To conclude, new educational system
of Turkey has drawn strong negative reactions both politics and civil people,
but it has already become a part of education system.
Dear Ozan,
YanıtlaSilI liked reading your journal very much. you have talked about an important topic which is about and concerns our children. Your ideas are really good. You have done well gramatically, but there are some mistakes. "Lately there is a new system " after or with Lately we use present perfect tense. it should have been "Lately there has been a new system" instead. "that dividing the compulsory education" in this sentence, "that" must be omitted or you should use "is" after that.
I hope you will continue to write good writings or journal.
Sincerely, Mesut Gögçeoğlu
