Abstract

This study aims to understand the current relationship between the education system of Niger and the construction of its culture and identity. Therefore, this study aims to focus on the political history of Niger from the colonial times to the present. As a matter of fact, various developments in the past have important places in the political history of Niger. However, regardless of the experienced developments, the country still entered the democratic process. More precisely, the research focuses on the education and public policies implemented by the relevant political power, which occurred consecutively during its precarious period, including the independence of the country. Also, it will be discussed whether the education policies implemented have impacts on the culture and identity of Niger. Overall, it is observed that, despite the attempts to implement the curriculum of a new education system based on the country’s respective competencies, realities and culture, many shortcomings still exist. Therefore, despite being an independent country, the education level of the country remained under the determined goal due to the intense interventions made by foreign powers, especially France, in the domestic policy of Niger.

Özet

Bu araştırma Nijer'in eğitim sistemi ile kültür ve kimliğinin inşası arasındaki mevcut ilişkiyi ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu makalede, sömürgecilik döneminden günümüze kadar Nijer’in siyasî tarihine odaklanılmıştır. Nitekim geçmişte yaşanan çeşitli gelişmeler Nijer’in siyasi tarihinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bununla birlikte yaşanan gelişmelerinin ardında Nijer’de yönetim biçimi demokratik sürece doğru geçişi tecrübe etmektedir. Nijer’in bağımsızlığı dâhil olmak üzere, istikrarın olmadığı dönemlerde iktidar tarafından uygulamaya konulan eğitim ve kamu politikalarının kültürel hayat ve kimlik üzerindeki etkileri tartışmaya açıktır. Genel olarak, Nijer’in toplumsal gerçekliği ve kültürel dokusu dikkate alınarak, yeni bir eğitim sistemi müfredatı uygulamaya konulmuş olmakla birlikte, birçok eksikliğin varlığı da göze çarpmaktadır. Dolaysıyla, bağımsız bir ülke olmasına rağmen, başta Fransa olmak üzere dış devletler tarafından Nijer’in iç politikasına yapılan yoğun müdahalelerden dolayı ülkenin eğitim standartları hedeflenenden daha aşağı seviyededir.
