Turkish Government Recognizes Hebrew but Bars French from Schools

Advertisement

The language of instruction in the Jewish schools of Turkey must be either Turkish or Hebrew, and not French as heretofore, according to a decision of the Turkish Ministry of Education.

After the closing of the French schools in Turkey, the Jewish schools were the only ones in which teaching was conducted in a European language.
