Turkish parliament passed a law that allows parents to transfer their children to school early Islam. Regulatory changes on education to extend compulsory education from eight to 12 years and allow children to move to a special school from the age of 10 years.
Say the ruling AK Party rule means more children can receive education in school longer, but Turkey's secular group argues that the policy is a plan to increase the influence of religion. Tough debate in parliament when discussing the bill, which was followed by protests for several days.

'Pressure fascist'
Approximately 295 of the 550 members of parliament held a vote to decide the rules on Friday (30/3) and 91 people refused. The new regulations will replace the 1997 Act which passed the military to stop children under the age of 15 years to go to religious schools "imam hatip".
The school was founded to educate the scholars of Islam.
Of the secular opposition party, the Republican People's Party accused Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan seeks to improve young people who are religious.
Erdogan has denied trying to promote Islamic values in his country. He said he was committed to secularism, but not at the expense of Turks who want to express their religious beliefs more openly.
He said the law passed was a victory for democracy. "This is a rule that shows how democracy in Turkey have developed," said Turkish Prime. "The pressure has been improved through democratic fascist."
