“…3 In 1924 the Turkish Parliament passed a law on the "Unification of Education" (Tevhid-i Tedrisat), which banned all religious schooling and teaching of religion outside of the state's formal education system. With this law medreses (religious schools) were closed and mekteps (secular schools) were declared the only institutions of education (Bayar 2009). 4 The only exception to this law, which is still in force, is the right of Jewish, Armenian (Apostolic, Catholic and Protestant denominations) and Greek Orthodox (Rum) communities to establish their own "private" community schools; this right is safeguarded by the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923.…”

This paper examines grassroots mobilizations in Turkey against the government's policies on religion and education (RE), and the potential effects of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) on their mobilization. Specifically, it follows the ways in which grassroots actors frame their discourses of secularism and freedom of religion in education during a period when the Turkish government is aiming to increase the role of Sunni-Islam in national education, while at the same time refusing to implement ECtHR decisions regarding RE. Drawing on empirical research, it analyzes the role the ECtHR and its case law play in the diverse rights claims and discourses of three different types of mobilizations that is going on in the field of RE: (i) legal mobilization, and right to exemption and freedom from religion, (ii) political mobilization, and new discourses of pluralism and secularism, (iii) monitoring and policy-based mobilization and national and international advocacy for pluralism and equality in education.

This article examines the concepts of public and private in the late Ottoman Empire and the early Turkish Republic through the worlds of child readers. It interrogates the shifting lines of demarcation between public and private against the background of children learning to read and being exposed to an increasing array of written material, some of it supplied by the state and some by the private sector. It begins by delineating the relationship between public and private in this period before turning first to the contexts in which this reading took place and then to the content of these new reading materials. Drawing on evidence from a range of children's reading matter and childhood memoirs, I argue that the experience of reading served to blur the distinction between public and private and to contribute to the reconfiguring of the realms of public and private space. In short, reading—and the many and sometimes mixed messages it provided to children in this period of flux—helped to effect the transformation of the categories of private and public life and to unsettle the notions of physical and mental space of young readers.

Osmanlı Devleti'nin yıkılmasından sonra kurulan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin toplumsal yapısının birçok alanında olduğu gibi eğitim politikasında da radikal değişiklikler meydana geldi. Ancak bu süreçte toplumsal dönüşüme katılmayan dini eğitim merkezlerinden bir kısım medreseler, bazı bölgelerde müderrisler ve halk tarafından günümüze kadar devam ettirilmişlerdir. Bu süreçte medreselerin müderrisleri ve bu kurumların baş aktörü olan seydalar günümüz modern din eğitimine bazı eleştiriler getirerek bir anlamıyla kendileri ve kurumları için güven tazelemeye çalışmaktadırlar. Bu eleştiriler, çoğunlukla sınırlı din eğitimi, eğitim-öğretim yöntemi, öğrenciöğretmen ilişkisi, din eğitiminin yeterli olmaması ve geleneksel eğitime ait bir takım özellikler etrafında şekillenmektedir. Nitel verilere dayanan bu çalışma süresince Türkiye'nin farklı illerine dağılan seydalara ve medreselere kartopu örneklem metodu ile ulaşılarak toplamda 30 seyda ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır.
