Thus he and his minister made a great effort for the development of education in the central and provinces of the Empire in order to consolidate Ottoman identity among his tebaa , subjects. One of the provinces that he instrumentalized education was Salonica where nationalist movements gained importance. The purpose of this study is to uncover Muslim schooling in Salonica during Sultan Abdülhamid II era; community’s thoughts on education; the policy of the government towards Muslim, especially women, and non-muslim population in terms of organization, establishment and funding of schools via mostly primary sources taken from Ottoman archives.
