"The second outcome [of the Centralization of Education and Knowledge Production] was the excessive centralization of knowledge production as the Education Ministry controlled the entire system from textbooks, teacher training, and course content to the questions asked at graduation examinations. All textbooks had to be reviewed and approved by the ministry; most textbooks were penned by retired officers and officials because they were able to successfully employ their political connections to have their books approved at the expense of other scholars who lacked such connections. As a consequence, rather than promoting critical thinking, the information contained in the textbooks ended up reproducing the official Turkish nationalist rhetoric."[1]
"Such nationalist intent in the production of knowledge naturally colored and affected all subsequent research. The proofs of Turkish history textbooks were also continually reviewed with a similar intent, one memoir writer noted, “to correct the mistakes...of many of the history books published in our country... [that] had either consciously or unknowingly minimized the role of Turks in world history.”149 Public intellectuals and the populace participated in the construction of this nationalist presentation alongside scholars. The state’s inclusion of such nonacademic groups into discussions on how to write history textbooks further popularized and mythified Turkish history."—Gocek p. 293
Thanks for your contributions to this article
Draft:Turkish textbook controversies. Though subject has further scope of expansion and fine tuning by including more academic sources.
I feel by now article touches most topics, though I have not been able to get alternative source for Avarogullari Ayten's research paper on lack of proper coverage of Ottoman time slavery in Turkish curricula.
From my side now it is okay if article goes in article main name space. Requesting your inputs in the same respect.
