Özet:

After the Southeastern Anatolia Region came under Ottoman rule during the Yavuz Selim Period, all of the townships and villages of Sason, which is located within the current borders of Batman province, were included in the administrative structure of Diyarbekir Province for many years. But in 1879, with the formation of Bitlis Province, Sason District was separated from Diyarbekir Province and connected here. This situation continued in the same way until the end of the Ottoman Empire. After the declaration of the Tanzimat Edict in the Ottoman Empire, the modernization studies, which were carried out in a more planned way, were gradually implemented outside of Istanbul, that is, in the provinces. In this period, one of the areas where innovations were made in the provinces as in the center is education. Especially since the second half of the 19th century, many modern educational institutions at different levels began to be opened in the provinces. In this direction, many schools were opened in the Sason district under the Ministry of Education, and the main ones are Sason (Hazzo), Bozikan, Kabılcevz, Tızi, Reşnik, Cemalan, Hatni, Asi and Koskit primary schools and Hazzo Hamidiye primary school and Hazzo secondary school. In addition to these Muslim schools, Hazzo (Kozluk) Armenian school was also opened. In this study, opening of these primary and secondary schools and their teachers, students, course, education and financial situations has been examined in detail. Thus, the modern education structure of the Sason district, where importance was given to raising the education level, especially during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II, and the education policies followed in the region has been revealed. In the preparation of the work, Education Yearbooks, education statistics, Provinces Yearbooks, Documents of the Ministry of Education in the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Ministry and research works on the subject have been used.
