Societies that do not develop education have many poor people.
This is not only an economic consequence; it is also a political and moral consequence.
An impoverished society cannot think clearly. It cannot empathize. It cannot design the future.
They look for a branch to hold on to; sometimes they cling to weapons, sometimes to holy books.
And wherever it feeds, it becomes a slave to that place.
This is precisely why managing poverty makes politics easier.
If we have an army of young unemployed people today...
If juvenile gangs are proliferating...
If the number of prisoners in juvenile prisons is increasing day by day...
If a crowded but meritless youth is growing up, graduating from apartment universities, with no qualifications other than their diplomas...
The reason for this is no coincidence.
The main reason for this picture is that the AKP government of 24 years has deliberately collapsed the education system.
This is not incompetence; it is a conscious choice.
Today “no justice” we argue - we are right.
But we cannot get anywhere without talking about the education system as the ground that makes injustice possible.
If education is rotten, so is the law.
When education collapses, conscience also collapses.
Parents' silence on the ever-changing curriculum...
That he was willing to settle for anything...
Being content to save the day instead of saving their children's future...
This silence is complicity in decay.
Because an impoverished society does not question.
A society that does not question obeys.
The obedient society also produces modern-looking slaves.
Today's crisis is not just economic;
it is a breakdown that starts with education and ends with character.
And without putting education back on its feet,
neither poverty ends
what justice comes
nor will this society be liberated.
