Abstract

With this study, it is aimed to clarify the situation of mother tongue education of the Turkish minority in the region in the context of the Romanian education system. In this direction, the education system of Romania within the framework of mother tongue rights has been described in general terms and the legal and practical status of the mother tongue education of the Turkish minority in the country has been clarified. The research shows the characteristics of a descriptive research model as it examines and evaluates the mother tongue education status of the Turkish minority in the country through various scientific researches and official documents in accordance with the determined purpose. In this context, qualitative analysis methods and techniques were used in the process of producing new information from research findings and results by analyzing the relevant studies conducted by various scientists on the subject and official documents and documents. As a result of the research, it has been found that there was no problem experienced in Turkish education during the period of the Ottoman Empire and the Romanian Kingdom established in Romania after the Ottoman period, and that there were great difficulties for schools that provide Turkish education since the Communist regime took over the administration in the country. Thanks to the democratization period that started with the regime change in Romania in 1989 and the European Convention on Minority Languages signed during the accession period to the European Union it has been concluded that significant improvements and privileges have been achieved in terms of minorities using their mother tongue and being able to receive education in these languages, but there is still a need for some projects and activities to encourage the people of the region to learn Turkish. Keywords:Romanian education system, Turkish education, language rights.
