 "The New York Times" published a report about Turkey in 2012, noting an increased polarization between secular and religious groups in Turkish society and politics.Critics argue that Turkish public institutions, once staunchly secular, are shifting in favour of Islamists.The government of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the Justice and Development Party (AKP) pursue the explicit policy agenda of Islamization of education to "raise a devout generation" against secular resistance, in the process causing lost jobs and school for many non-religious citizens of Turkey.
