Abstract

As of the twentieth century, attempts have been made to westernize the field of education, and experts have been brought in from the west to modernize in all areas. With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk made a number of initiatives to ensure interaction with the West and applied changes at every stage of education. The new education system, on the other hand, wanted to build an educational model of a national character. In order for the innovations to be made to have an impact on the public, all existing education systems had to be united under one roof. Therefore, on March 3, 1924, the Law of Tawhid-i Tedrisat, based on unity in education and training, was adopted. There were no articles in the content of the law regarding the abolition of neighborhood schools and madrasas. This law brought together all educational and educational institutions in Turkey into a single center. With this law, the way has been paved for some radical changes in education in Turkey, such as the letter revolution. It is observed that different methods and practices were followed in education in the later period as well as in the period of Atatürk. Especially in the periods after 1950, 1980 and 2000, significant changes have occurred in the levels from preschool to higher education, and there have been many developments in our education system from the amount of education time to the exam names. Key Words: Republic, Tevhid-i Tedrisat Law, Education
