Abstract :
The modernisation of the education in Ottoman Empire underlies the post-republic education system of Turkey. The establishment of the non-military educational institutions during the reign of Sultan Mahmut II took a new form thanks to Maârif-i Umûmiye Nizamnamesi (General Education Regulation). According to this regulation, primary schools were classified as sibyan and rushdiya schools, and secondary schools as idâdî and sultânî schools. It was planned that the idâdîs were to constitute the first stage of secondary schools, while the sultânîs the second one in this hierarchy. In the process of history, the sultânîs could not be founded, and seven-year idâdîs, hich constituted the second stage of the secondary schools, were established. Seven-year idâdîs were started to be transformed into sultânîs after 1910. After 1914, however, all seven-year idâdîs were decided to be changed into sultânîs. Sultânîs began to constitute the secondary schools in Ottoman education system since then. Not only were significant changes made quantitatively in the body of these newly founded sultânîs, in the period of study, in their schedules and in the members of staff, but also innovations were planned to be made qualitatively. Sultânîs, with some changes, continued their existences as secondary and high schools which constituted the postrepublic secondary educational institutions in Turkey.
