AK Party Kayseri Deputy Hulusi Akar stated in a program he attended that the purpose of education is not knowledge. Akar used the following expressions: "Knowledge is acquired in university, in profession. The purpose of education is fear of God and shame of people." Akar's controversial words continue to be on the agenda. CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who reacted to Hulusi Akar, said: "We scratched Hulusi Akar like a scratch card. A political Islamist came out from under, nothing else came out." Özel continued as follows: When you look at Hulusi Akar... There is a scratch card, you know, a scratch card. We scratched Hulusi Akar like a scratch card. A political Islamist came out from under, nothing else came out. Hulusi Akar has been a Political Islamist from the very first day he took office, from the day he graduated. As his friends say, 'Water flows, Hulusi Akar.' And the person who would take over if the coup were successful, when it failed, he took office again. This is Turkey's misfortune. That's why I have nothing else to say. I already said what I had to say to him in the General Assembly of the Parliament. "THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION IS FEAR OF GOD AND SHAME OF PEOPLE"Hulusi Akar used the following expressions in that program: What is the purpose of education? Education is not knowledge, my friends. Knowledge is acquired in university, in profession. The purpose of education is fear of God and shame of people. If we teach our children aged 4-12 to fear God, to be ashamed of people, to love their country and nation, to do good for others, and if we instill our other national and spiritual values in them, then wherever this child goes, wherever in the world, do not be afraid of this child.
