The role of religion in modern education is a discussion that vexed scholars from the Western world as well as Muslim scholars. There are different approaches to the problem. Some scholars argue that religion does not have space in public education while there are others who promote the existence of religion in modern education systems. Ersoy positions himself among the second group. He offers an education system which promotes both religious knowledge and science in schools. His main concern to design an education promoting religious and scientific knowledge is to raise a generation to save the Muslim world from ignorance, poverty, and clashes. By doing so, he intends to serve Islam as he believes it is under threat of misinformed or ignorant Muslim society. Ersoy calls this generation Asım Generation which functions to save the Muslim world and builds bridges between the Western world and Muslims. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / 2019 / November 12, 2019. / Asim Generation, Education, Mehmet Akif Ersoy, Religion, Turkish Philosophy of Education / Includes bibliographical references. / Jeffrey Ayala Milligan, Professor Directing Dissertation; William Hanley, University Representative; Robert Schwartz, Committee Member; Carolyn Herrington, Committee Member.
