Köy Enstitülerini Stratejik Planlama Bağlamında Değerlendirmenin İmkanı.

The education issue of the village and the villager became a serious problem in the first period of the Republic. In Turkey, where the literacy rate was low compared to the population, it was planned to increase the literacy rate in rural areas through village institutes at that time. Ideas of village institutes go back to the "trainer project". The first trainer course was opened in Eskişehir Çifteler in 1937, and the first practices were implemented in the form of training the village youth who did their military service as corporals or sergeants and assigning them as trainers in their own villages. In the first period of the Republic, when there were not enough teachers, it was a laborious task for existing teachers to go to villages and teach. Village institutes are based on the idea of training teachers who will work voluntarily and selflessly in their own villages. Village institutes were officially established in 1940 under the auspices of President İsmet İnönü, with the work of Minister of National Education Hasan Ali Yücel and İsmail Hakkı Tonguç. In village institutes, students were also given education on literacy, basic knowledge, and livelihoods of the region (agriculture, beekeeping, poultry farming, etc.) outside of formal education. Village institutes are a unique education-teaching model that includes the regulation of education in Turkey according to rural conditions and emerged in Turkey's conditions. In this study, the process of emergence and closure of village institutes has been examined. Village institutes, which are an important move in the field of education, are an effective and efficient development move with a strategic planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
