Question: Is it permissible to swear on adopting and developing secularism?
Is it shirk for teacher to sign an oath that says "I will protect and develop secularism and Atatürk's reforms"? Every officer in our country has to do this. Is it permissible to show respect to Atatürk in official ceremonies?

It is not shirk. If you are compelled to do this you are excused. As you are Muslim your allegiance is to Allah.
You have to respect the country’s law.

And Allah knows best
