General Staff adds elective Quran course to curriculum of military high schools
14 November 2012 / TODAY'S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL
The General Staff has approved the inclusion of elective Quran courses in the curriculum of military high schools, media outlets reported on Wednesday.
The military high schools are following the path of regular high schools, which began offering the elective Quran courses this year upon a decision of the Ministry of Education to that effect.
Debates flared up last month after national media outlets circulated claims that the General Staff had objected to any change to its curriculum.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the General Staff dismissed such news reports and said it had added elective Quran courses to its curriculum for this year.
