Development of Turkish Education Policy and the Modernization Primary Education Revisited
Sevinc, Muzeyyen
Childhood Education, v82 n6 p347 Aug 2006
The Turkish Republic was born out of the ruins of the Ottoman Empire (1270-1920), which extended into three continents and ruled people of various ethnic denominations having different languages, religions, and culture. Elementary education for the masses was left to the people themselves, with little input from the imperial administration. This article discusses the cultural and educational history of Turkey and the development of modern primary education policy.
