Armenian schools in Turkey to be granted textbooks in native language

April 1, 2010 - 15:12 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Turkish Ministry of Education has prepared mathematics and introduction to natural science textbooks in Armenian to be distributed free of charge among Armenian schools, NTV reported.

The decision followed a letter sent to Education Minister Nimet Cubukcu by a Turkish-Armenian teacher requesting to provide Armenian schools with textbooks. The request was granted as the ministry initiated an unprecedented project for the 2011-2012 school year and assigned the Instruction and Education Institution to translate the textbooks into Armenian in line with the ministry’s curriculum. The head masters of some Armenian schools were invited to Ankara for collaboration. According to the final regulation, the textbooks for first, second and third grades as well as three supplementary exercise books for each will be translated into Armenian and 2 000 copies will be made.

In total, 24 000 books will be published for 24 Armenian schools, 18 of them in Istanbul.
