How is the childrens rights issue referred to in schools and textbooks in Turkey?
Its presentation is very limited. It is presented as if children’s rights refer only to children’s equality without having divisions based on race, ethnicity and so on. But as I mentioned, there is much more to it and those elements are not mentioned. Why? Because if everybody is aware that there is more to it, children and young people will demand more. Grown ups are afraid that then they will not be able to meet children’s demands. Could you give an example? For example according to the agreement a sports field must be provided for children. If students knew they should be provided with a sports field, they would demand it and would want to turn a car parking area at the backyard of their schools into a sports field. Another example is that students could ask for a say in how their school is run, and they could ask for participation in the school administration. It’s also their right according to the agreement. We have general elections approaching on July 22. Do the political partie
