As a new academic year starts
|
The 2009-2010 academic year started this week. Criticism regarding the education system in general focuses on physical facilities. It is said that about 150,000 more teachers and about 100,000 more classrooms are needed for primary and secondary education, while accommodation and academic facilities for university students are being criticized.

These criticisms about the physical shortcomings of the education system are correctly made and even more could be said, but I believe that they fall short of explaining the main problem with our education system. If you are a part of this system or have spent most of your life in several sectors of the education system, then you already know that this basic problem of the country cannot be explained with these figures regarding physical shortcomings. Yes, it is true that we can change our budgetary preferences and increase the budget allocated to the Ministry of Education. But will this solve the problems prevalent in our education system?
