International News | Turkey kemalista court blocks reform opposed by secularist

A Turkish court Wednesday suspended a reform that would have facilitated university access for religious school graduates and was strongly opposed by secularists, the Anatolia news agency reported.

The ruling by the Council of State, Turkey's top administrative court, comes as a blow to the Islamist-rooted government, which backed the changes, announced by a higher education board in July.

The court said the changes contradicted existing laws and “deviated from the objective of resolving problems” in the education system, Anatolia reported.
