Turkey's schools have begun the new academic year with a controversial curriculum that leaves out the theory of evolution and brings in the concept of jihad.
For Turkey's Islamist-rooted government, the idea is for a new "education of values".
Critics have denounced new textbooks as "sexist" and "anti-scientific", and complain of a major blow to secular education.
"By embedding a jihadist education of values, they try to plague the brains of our little children, with the same understanding that transforms the Middle East into a bloodbath," said Bulent Tezcan of the secular, opposition CHP party.
But the government has accused the opposition of creating black propaganda and trying to polarise Turkey ahead of elections in 2019.
"When we say values, they understand something else. We are proud of our conservative-democrat stand, but we don't want everyone to be like us," says Education Minister Ismet Yilmaz.wan [BBC] Read more
