Village institutes
The village institutes , (Turkish: Köy Enstitüleri ), were established between 1940 and 1948 for teacher training centers in Turkey. The then Minister of Culture of Turkey Hasan Ali Yücel is considered to be the main founder of the village institutes .
target
Those trained there were to be sent to the rural areas of Turkey, which until then had hardly been equipped with schools, in order to establish public educational institutions for boys and girls . In this way, schools were provided almost everywhere in the country within a very short time.
Admission and teaching content
Talented farmer children between the ages of 11 and 18, who had already mastered reading, writing and arithmetic, were accepted and instructed in agriculturally useful knowledge, as well as knowledge of folk music, health education and Turkish poetry . The training plans are always based on the practice of future schoolchildren working in agriculture.
closure
The village institutes were closed in 1954 under the Prime Ministerial of Adnan Menderes ( DP ) and converted into conventional teacher training institutions. The reason given was the spread of "ugly leftist ideas".
