The Core Approach of the Hizmet Movement's Educational Model
Accurate conclusions cannot be achieved without proper assessments. The Gülen Movement's Educational Model prioritizes developing an educational philosophy grounded in the historical and cultural values of our nation.
Education is the most effective tool for sharing our values with the modern world and engaging with people from other cultures. In this regard, the Anatolian-Origin Educational Model forms the foundation of this work.
The term "Anatolian" does not merely refer to a geographical region but also embodies a local and national perspective. Projects like the Turkish Language Olympiads clearly demonstrate the feasibility and potential success of such a model.
Merging Local and Universal Perspectives in Education
The lack of emphasis on local elements within our educational systems has contributed significantly to the challenges our nation faces. However, there is no reason for despair regarding the future. It is evident that adopting and implementing an educational model deeply rooted in the values of the Anatolian people can yield positive outcomes in a short time.
When designing educational strategies, it is essential to analyze the realities of human nature accurately. Humans possess both spiritual (angelic) and physical (animalistic) attributes. A balanced approach that nurtures both dimensions without neglect is key to proper education.
