This will definitely affect international schools in Turkey. Can anyone currently employed by a school there keep us updated?
A few months ago I spoke with some student-teachers who did an internship at one supposed international school in Istanbul (international is even in their title). The school was having a visit from the education ministry, and removed and hid EVERY workbook, worksheet, and any other piece of literature that was written in English; essentially erasing any evidence of the students' bilingual learning.
This is frightening; Erdogan is crazy!
