Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare the training policies of elementary teachers applied in the Turkish Republic Of Northern Cyprus today and the training polices applied in the United Kingdom who was the colonial of Northern Cyprus for many years. For this reason, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’s elementary teacher training institutions, programs, teacher candidate selection and training period were examined. In addition, in the study from the colonial years (1878-1960) to the present day, leaving the legacy of policies applied in many areas of elementary teacher training in the United Kingdom were investigated. Elementary teacher training practices in the United Kingdom and North Cyprus were compared and evaluated. Research was carried out with the document scanning method. As a result of the research, similarities and differences between the two countries have been identified, in the light of this information it has demonstrated to the extent that the teacher education policy in Northern Cyprus remains under the influence of United Kingdom teaching policies.
