7.7 EDUCATION, YOUTH AND SPORTS

The right to education, as a social right that is accepted as one of the most basic
human rights and requires the positive contribution of the state, is mentioned in Article
2 of Protocol No. 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights, “No person shall be
denied the right to education. In the exercise of any functions which it assumes in relation to
education and to teaching, the State shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education
and teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions.”

According to Article 42 of the Turkish Constitution, “No one shall be deprived of the right
of learning and education.” This clear-cut provision not only imposes a responsibility on
the state to not to prevent individuals from enjoying these rights, but also imposes
a positive responsibility on the state regarding the right to education. These positive
responsibilities are the provision of education and training opportunities to individuals
by the state itself, the state’s duty of supervision and control in the proper execution of
the educational service, and finally, supporting successful students who lack financial
means through scholarships and other means, thus ensuring equality of opportunity in
education and assisting beneficiaries who may have problems benefiting from this right
on their own.

Under the main heading of “Education, youth and sports”, there are the following
subheadings:

1. Exams and related practices
2. Processes, actions and practices related to students

3. Teachers’ problems related to education
4. Issues related to higher education services
