response to socio-political conditions of the 1980s. In order to understand the
socio-political and socio-economic transformations in Turkey, it is necessary
to focus on NPM and NSM literature together. More importantly, in the age of
NPM and NSM it is vital to understand the development process of education, and
its importance as a tool which has been used to create social capital in
Turkey, since this paper aims to answer the following questions: How is it
possible to explain increasing religiosity in education in secular Turkey? How
does NPM open up opportunity spaces in the governance of education? How have
NSMs become involved in the resourcing of education? How have NSMs redefined
educational governance? This paper will attempt to show the importance of
education for all governments from the beginning of the Turkish Republic, the
Turkish governments used education as a tool for spreading their political
ideology. So there have been various implementations from secularist policies
to Islamist militarist policies in the Turkish education system. After giving
some information about educational policies, which have been shaped around
secularism, militarism and Islamism, the second section will show the
interaction between education and New Public Management (NPM). This paper will
first discuss the neoliberal changes that happened between the 1980s and 2000s,
and secondly, will indicate how NPM agendas transformed education from a social
service to the private service. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Gaziantep University}
