Looking at National Education from the Viewpoint of Cinema: A Comparison of Entre Les Murs (France) and On The Way To School (Turkey)
Abstract
Globalization transforms everything within notional values and national education as well. Multiculturalist or multicultural and multi-ethnicity approaches also give effects on national education and politics in the context of globalization. This flow like as ethnic-based national politics brings to light of social conflict among national society and the others. Especially 2005 riots of France and long lasting Kurdish society and recent Syrian migration of Turkey force them to be subject of the problem that has strong arguments on national systems within identity and integration through education. This article tries to determine etymological changes of nationalism and its effect on national education debate through the eyes of Entre Les Murs (2008) and On the Way to School (2008) and its national directors. Both of films have non-ideological perspective and search for humanitarian values of nationalists and the others. Both of films criticize the nationalism as a sub-term of modernism instead of feudalism. Lack of cultural equality and civilisation and technical infrastructure of education system in France and Turkey cannot transform the whole society to be gathered under the co-nationalism umbrella. It causes greying of personal, humanitarian effects of two idealist and hero teachers on their student in the films. All this kind of mis-opportunities of French and Turkish modernisation for their whole society means populist politics continue to shape the education but partially.
