Nelson   Mandela says “Education  is  the   most  powerful  weapon  which   you  can  use   to  change  the   world”.  

Therefore, developing a  program in   education is something  that should  be focused  on in  a  great detail. 

There are several curriculums developed for  teaching English in Turkey. Before the 1997 reform, the students were introduced to English courses at the 6th grade (at the age of 11) in the public schools, which  was the start  of secondary school.

This was too late to start learning a second language. Later, in 2001 English  courses   were introduced  to the  primary schools  starting   at the 4th  grade. The classes  were two  hours per   week in the  4th and the   5th grades. Still this was late, finally we start learning English at the second grade (at the age of 8). To me, it is still late. We should start learning a second language at Kindergarten.
