The MEB's 100 Fundamental Works (secondary schools)

The MEB's 100 Fundamental Works is a curated list of one hundred core literary works mandated for reading and study in secondary schools within a specific educational system (the "MEB" presumably referring to the Ministry of Education, or a similar governmental body responsible for education). The list is intended to provide students with a common foundation in literature, exposing them to a diverse range of authors, genres, and historical periods. The selection criteria typically prioritize works considered classics, deemed culturally significant, or offering valuable insights into societal issues, philosophical concepts, or human psychology.

The precise composition of the list and the educational goals it aims to achieve are dependent on the specific context of the MEB responsible for its creation. It's likely the list is reviewed and updated periodically to reflect evolving educational philosophies and societal values. Implementation of the "100 Fundamental Works" often includes classroom discussion, essay writing, and critical analysis of the selected texts. The initiative aims to cultivate literacy skills, critical thinking abilities, and a deeper understanding of cultural heritage among secondary school students.
