Fable of Multicultural: Educational Problems of Turkish Workers' Children in Multicultural Societies (Samples of Germany and Holland)

Abstract

This paper examines Turkish workers’ children’s educational problems in relation to the policies of two sample multicultural societies, Holland and Germany. Special attention is paid to assimilation, integration and multuculturalism as parts of these policies, and to their connections with education. It is shown that, in these countries, these aims are not attained in any way and that even those attempts at application that have been made contradict the origin of multiculturalism. In respect of education, these countries do not provide equal chance and possibilities for foreign children; the aims are restricted to the degree of impossibility by school instructors and the curriculum.
