The present study aims to discuss how political communication shape education policies in Turkey: How does political communication make education policy a political product based on ideology? What are the ideological differences between education policies in Turkey? The political party programs and election manifestos related to the General Election held on June 24, 2018 in Turkey are examined with the content analysis method in the context of political communication
As an “ideological apparatus” of state (Althusser, 2010), education policy becomes a direct product of political communication in the sense that political parties shape these policies according to their ideology (Boudon, 1986)
Summary
Political communication is the basic principle of political system. This is one of the preconditions for a democratic system. The history of democracy is based on the relationship between politics and communication (Wolton, 1995). Since politics have caused controversy due to their nature, they include communication within their structure. Political communication is a “voters persuading strategy” that constitutes the basis of political election (Bouzidi, 2016). It should be noted that political communication is an area that examines the relationship between politics and communication (Mutlu, 2012)
