Özet:

‘VillageInstructor Courses’ are considered as one of the most important pillars of the Early Republican Era in Turkey. These courses, which were specifically designed to improve the literacy rate and mobilisation of education and training systems in urban and rural areas, had a major impact on villages and villagers back in the 1930s, when the new Turkish Republic was gradually developing. Furthermore, these courses formed a prominent basis for Village Institutes, which relatively suggests that thiss tudy is worthwhile to explore in further research. The study will thus investigate into the structure and implementation of the Village Instructor Courses in the Early Republican Era in Turkeyfor how they filled the education gap of the time, helped achieve stability and success in villages and finally contributed to educating villagers who at that time comprised 80% of the population.
