Parents' Views on the Education of Turkish Children Living in Switzerland
Asim Ari; Gökhan Kayir
Anatolian Journal of Education, v8 n2 p225-236 2023
The current era is one of the periods in human history when the phenomenon of migration is at its highest level. Individuals leave the countries they live in and settle in different countries for economic, security or different demographic reasons. Like all Western European countries, Switzerland has provided labour force from countries such as Turkey to complete the manpower deficit. The aim of this research is to get the opinions of parents who are currently in the 2nd and 3rd generation about their children's education. The research was designed as a case study. The data were collected in the Canton of Basel, Switzerland in 2023 with a questionnaire/interview form developed by Ari (2007) and updated for this research. In this case study with 77 individuals living in the canton of Basel, Switzerland, it is seen that parents are satisfied with the Swiss educational institutions, they are not concerned about the integration and success of their children, but they are afraid that their children will lose their language, cultural and religious values. The greatest expectation from Turkish educational institutions is in this direction.
