Özet: Two important struggle movements were exhibited in Anatolia between the years 1900-1950. The first of these was the War of Independence, the struggle for existence of a new republican movement from an empire that ruled over three continents for 600 years and collapsed in those years. The second was the Village Institutes, the educational movement of a state that would raise the level of civilization from a collapsing empire. Village Institute was an important role in education in the early years of the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. The literacy rate in the first years of the Republic of Turkey was very low. Because of the low schooling rate in Anatolia and the lack of educational opportunities in the villages, a society was growing up without education, schools and teachers. For these reasons, Village Institutes in order to turn this disadvantageous situation into an oppotunity, to train teachers in the village and to train teachers for the village have been shedding light on the future of the Republic of Turkey. In this study, the purpose of the establishment of village institutes, the selection of students and teachers for the village institutes, the education programs applied in the village institutes, the fields of the village institutes, the number of students and teachers were emphasized, and the negative criticisms that led to the closure of village institutes were emphasized.
