Turkey Dropping Evolution From Curriculum
土耳其将进化论从课程表中移除
A new school curriculum is going into effect in Turkey for 2017-18, and it will no longer include the subject of evolution in grade nine. The curriculum for state-run schools in Turkey is set by the government. Government representatives say that Charles Darwin’s theory is above the students’ level of understanding and should not be taught until university level. Critics fear this is part of President Erdogan’s attempt to raise a “pious generation.” Other curriculum changes include spending less time on Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (the founder of modern Turkey) and more time on traditional Turkish culture and religious studies. All new schools will be required to have a gender-separated prayer room. Religious schools will also begin teaching the word “jihad” as a positive term related to patriotism and spirituality.
土耳其2017-18年的学校新课程表已经生效，该课表将进化论从九年级的课程中移除。土耳其国立学校的这份课程表由政府制定。政府代表人员说查尔斯·达尔文的理论超出了学生的理解范围，应该在大学阶段再教授。批判家担心这是埃尔多安总统试图培养“虔诚的一代”的一部分。课表变化还包括在穆斯塔法·基马尔（现代土耳其创始人）的学习上缩减时间，在传统的土耳其文化及宗教信仰方面增加时间。所有新学校都必须有男女分开的祷告室。宗教学教也将从积极面去教授“jihad（圣战）”这个词，将其与爱国主义和精神性联系起来。
