Abstract
Significance Erdogan spoke ten days after instructing the education ministry to change the examination system for secondary-school entrance. His new-found interest in education quality, if sustained, could lead to some improvements if concrete action is taken on school budgeting, standards, teacher training and career structures. However, the government has focused rather on increasing the influence of religion in education, introducing extensive syllabus changes aimed at Turkey’s ideological transformation in line with Erdogan’s historical view and vision of society. Impacts There may be opportunities for the private sector to influence education policy. Policy in education as in other fields will continue to be ad hoc without long-term planning. The president may soon turn his attention to popular culture.
