Title The Implementation of International Law on the Right to Education of Ethnic Minorities in Turkish Legislation: Kurdish language
Summary This thesis researches the education rights of minority groups. As a case study, the Kurdish language in Turkey is examined. For gaining a clear understanding of the selected topic, the education rights of Kurds in Turkey are compared to Catalans in Spain.
The main focus is the implementation of international documents in Turkish law. Based on the literature review and analyses, the situation of Kurds` education rights in their mother tongue from a law perspective is examined. The main focus is on the examination of the constitution of Turkey and different laws.
As a result of these analyses, the main problem is having conflicts between Turkish law and international documents. Following recommendations are considered necessary for realizing the education rights of minority groups for Turkey:
- Being part of the international document which is the core document for minority rights
- Avoiding the use of nationalistic approaches to school curricula
- Ensuring the attendance of the members of minority groups in the management of schools
