Education is the main battlefield between the religious who support Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan with secular groups accuse Erdogan's moderate Islamic values run silently.
Secular groups fear when Erdogan gave an open statement by saying that the rise of religious youth and the AK Party (Justice and Development Party) introduced the education system by strengthening the role of religious schools.
Under new regulations issued by the government, Tuesday, November 27, 2012, stated that students in regular schools be allowed to wear the hijab. This regulation was effective in the academic year 2013-2014.
Erdogan said, the reform also involves end ban on students wearing headscarves in school uniform because it is a public necessity.
"Let's let everyone dressed the children as they had hoped," he said at a press conference in Madrid, Tuesday. "Here is a step that produces a necessity."
Competition between the religious and the secular elite is one of the major problems in public life. AK Party, led by Erdogan, rooted in Islam that managed to tame the power of the military as the guardian of secularism since the country became a modern republic in 1923.
Last month, military officials attended a reception at the Presidential Palace, alongside the president and the prime minister's wife who wears a headscarf. This incident had never occurred.
Erdogan criticized the wisdom of secular Cumhuriyet newspaper. In its report, the paper calls for the cancellation of the student school headscarf ban is a step toward the Islamization of education. "Everything will end up with a veil," wrote the daily's in the headlines.
