Abstract

The rapid change and transition process experienced through the Modernization / Westernization period entered with the Republic, which was founded in Turkey in 1923, includes intense constructions of culture and art media. All these constructions desired to be realized involve provision of a secular platform for political and ideal life, integration of culture into all parts of the society using the national history as a basis in culture, structuring high cultural institutions and bringing them into force. Due to the conditions of the period, educational administration is centralized. The objective of the elementary education is to train citizens for the new republic and raise the awareness of citizenship. Educational policies and programs rising national consciousness with a universal-humanist-secular approach is the principal feature of the republican education system.
