“AK Party governments perceived the Kemalist period's understanding of secularism as anti-Islam and adopted a secularism approach that emphasized freedom of religion. But this emphasis on freedom is also tactically and qualitatively majoritarian; Religious education has been imposed through various educational policies under the name of freedom and the content of education has been religiousized. "An important tool of desecularization, which is an element of social engineering carried out through education in this period, is the creation of an environment in which large masses of people are forced to receive religious education through numerous regulations made in the field of education." In her study, Elif Gençkal Eroler observes that in addition to the "social engineering" approach that instrumentalizes education in the education policies of the Justice and Development Party governments, there is also a continuity with the "Republican tradition" in the "threat paradigm". He observes how the concept of the "nation" and its "enemies" is redefined within this format. The author points out the neoliberal mentality as another important dimension of the ideological instrumentalization of education: Privatization, adaptation to market society values and seeing people as "human capital"... The richness of the book lies in depicting this ideological formation through concrete experiences: Curriculum and textbooks, appointment of teachers and principals. regime, project school practices, education councils, reflections of the AKP Gülen Community conflict... A competent review of an eternal problem area of Turkey.
