Pro-AKP newspaper Yeni Akit has published a news piece today (October 24) on ‘reactions to coed education’. Titled as ‘Coed education is a violation of right’, the piece included comments of representatives from civil society institutions İHH (Humanitarian Relief Foundation), Kol Kola Derneği (Arm-in-arm Foundation), and Din-Bir-Sen (Union of Religion Affairs Workers) about ‘coed education’.

Reminding that the ‘arguments against coed education’ was started off by Yeni Akit newspaper earlier, the author of the news piece Süleyman Yaşar claims that ‘coed education is oppression and a violation of right’ as it ‘does not give people alternatives’ to choose from.

Representatives of the mentioned civil society institutions who gave their comments mainly claimed that ‘it was now scientifically proved that coed education was bogus’ and that ‘it was wrong both based on Islam and based on rights.’ It is also asserted in the piece that what is being tried with coed education is ‘actually to create a society with monotype individuals’.
