The Turkish Justice and Development Party (AK Parti) after its first electoral victory in 2002 started to slowly reform the educational system of the country after a decade of economic crisis and political uncertainty. Without changing the driving principles of the 1973 law on education, the ruling party of Turkey could manage to establish a new structure in which both students and families can take their share of responsibility, the finances are ensured and Western educational fashions are taken into consideration. The original aim of the AK Parti was to strengthen democracy and make freedom an essential result of the whole system, in fact, lately it considered education more a tool for progress in a time in which Turkey has a dream to become a regional power.
