Özet:

The 1960s in Turkey witnesses a original period in which contradictions within the ruling classes gained a new dimension; the contradictions between the basic classes became visible and this process showed itself in all the spheres of public life. The rise of the Justice Party (AP) to power alone in 1965 general elections, the attempt to limit the fundamental rights and freedoms brought by the 1961 Constitution to the benefit of the ruling class, and the follow-up of an anti-communism-centered policy have led to the hardening of the ideological hegemony struggle. One of the fields in which the struggle is observed is education. From this point of view, this study aims to study the forms of addressing the problems of left-wing education during the AP government period (1965-1971) by using selected left/socialist journals, parliamentary positions and newspaper news (National). The pre-university education discussion will focus on the practices of the government towards opposition teachers, the movements to spread religious education, the discussions of "education for revolution" and the U.S. impact on education. In the headline of higher education, the tensions between the government and the university will be described; instead of detailing the student actions of the period, the left will try to identify the issues of higher education and the mission of youth from which perspective.
