Türkiye tightens control over foreign schools, citing reciprocity
Turkey is actively strengthening its sovereignty in the field of education, seeking to take control of French and German schools in Ankara and Istanbul. The country's authorities refer to the principle of reciprocity, seeking to legalize foreign schools in their legal field and counting on the opening of Turkish educational institutions abroad. However, foreign countries, especially France, are not ready for reciprocity due to the Islamization of Turkish education under Erdogan.
Turkey is taking active steps to strengthen its sovereignty in the educational sphere, seeking to take control of foreign schools operating in Ankara and Istanbul. First of all, this concerns French and German educational institutions, whose programs and activities the Turkish authorities intend to legalize within the national legal framework.
The goal of such actions is to gain control over educational programs and ensure the principle of reciprocity with foreign countries, which will allow Turkey to open its own schools abroad. However, these initiatives are facing resistance, especially from France, which has expressed concern about the growing Islamization of Turkish education under President Erdogan. The French side believes that such changes contradict the secular nature of the state and are not ready to support reciprocity in the educational sphere.
The conflict of interests between Turkey and foreign countries in the educational sphere underlines the complexity of relations, where each side defends its cultural and political values.
