| First, the curriculum for each country is different for Turks from kindergarten to high school, the curriculum is centrally and nationally determined. The US, by contrast, gives each state the ability to determine the focus of the curriculum to be taught in schools. For example, knowledge of religion is one of the subjects taught in most Turkish schools; the United States does not have a similar requirement. In addition, Turkish schools offer courses in foreign languages from an early age, because learning English in Turkey is the basic requirement for a good job.In the United States, teaching a foreign language is considered a necessity, but it is not a must, as in Turkey. |
