Pınar Mercan Küçükakın on 08 Oct 13Turkey has been undergoing education reforms because of the same reason" ..the current system was designed and conceived for a different age..." Do you think the reformed curricula meet the requirements of 21st century? I think wee need to reform the minds of people who are designing the curricula in this country...

Burcu Korkusuz on 08 Oct 13I certainly do not believe that the current system 4+4+4 meets the requirements of the 21st century. In Turkey, something is changed every year about the examination, curriculum, grading and so on. We do not have the opportunity to see the effects of the new system. Moreover, I agree with your ideas that before conducting a reform, the mentality should be changed first whether it is about the educational management, curriculum or other components. If this does not occur, the results will just be superficial and temporary.

Yelda Sarıkaya-Erdem on 08 Oct 13It is like imitating other countries and take their education systems for granted rathr than reforming. Whatever it is, the education systems not only in East but also in some parts of west are based on social efficiency theory and students are conceived as to-be-workers. Self-actualization and intellectual development are not even in the secondary place.
