Education Ministry officials in Diyarbakır province allegedly ordered the list of teachers who taught in Kurdish on February 21, International Mother Language Day.
The ministry order was as follows:
“In order to be used in a processing, we are demanding the list of teachers who were teaching in Kurdish in public schools and the approved photocopies of class logs on February 21, 2014…”.
Previously, Eğitim-Sen, an education union, made an appeal to all public school teachers to instruct two hours of their subject classes in Kurdish and make a record on class logs on February 21, International Mother Language Day. (YY/BM)
