President blocks controversial education reforms
The legislation would serve to encourage more students to take up religious studies, the President said.
May 28 - Turkey’s President has vetoed a series of controversial amendments to legislation governing the country’s education system, reforms that critics have claimed undermine the secular nation of the system.

       Turkish President Ahmet Necdet Sezer on Friday vetoed the reforms, saying that they would encourage the establishing of religious schools and that they did not comply with the secular principles of the nation.
       Among the key reforms was the increasing the openings for graduates of high schools with a religious curriculum to attend universities.
       According to Sezer, in the statement issued outlining his objections to the legislation, the real aim of the amendments was to encourage youths to attend religious schools.
       “It is a fact, however, that the number of students attending such schools is in excess even today,” the president said in his statement.
       “Allowing graduates of religious schools to benefit from the same university education rights as graduates of general high schools does not comply with... the principles of secularism,” he said.
       “Legislation which does not comply with the state’s objectives and raison d’etre and which is passed only thanks to parliamentary majority has an adverse impact on the conscience of the society.”
       Having returned the legislation to the parliament, if passed unchanged a second time, the President cannot exercise his veto again. However, he could apply to the Constitutional court for a ruling on whether the amendments are in breach of the constitution.
