Teachers' Day in Turkey
Teachers
Today is teachers' day in Turkey. Even though it is celebrated on October 5 internationally, Turkey has another date to celebrate and honour the teachers in Turkey. In Turkey, it is celebrated annualy on November 24 every year. As an English teacher, I have a feeling that I should post something about this special day on steemit. Being a teacher is not easy , especially If you are an English teacher. English education in Turkey is not really effective in my country, especially in public schools as there are too many students in the classroom and teachers are not qualified enough to teach English to new generations. English is mostly taught based on grammar which doesn't help students much to use the language in daily life in terms of speaking, listening,reading and writing skills. Personally, I am working in private sector at the moment and our aim is to show our students how to use the language in their lives.
Teachers in Turkey
You may wonder why we celebrate Teacher's day on a different date. The reason is that after Atatürk founded the Republic of Turkey, he thought that modern Turkey must rise with educated people. If people in the country are not well educated, nothing will help us to preserve our independence. Thanks to his reforms, Turkey developed quite well in those times and Atatürk thought that Turkish teachers should celebrate their special day on a different date, that's why we celebrate it on this day annually. In my opinion, education in Turkey is not really good. it is really sad to say this but new generations are not getting educated well which makes me worry about the future of the country.
The quality of education is really important for all nations. When we look at some developed countries like Finland and Sweden, we can observe that they are good at everything, including economy and quality of life. I hope, education in my country and the world will be better so that the world can be more peaceful place for all of us. Thanks for reading.
