Abstract
The Village Institutes have been the most discussed topic in the field of education of Republican history and even in all fields. Although it has been 77 years since their establishment and over 63 years since they were closed, they never lost their up-to-dateness. Many articles and researches were made on the institutes. The researches and articles have been written with a focus on the general functioning of the Village Institutes, reasons for their closure, their effects on the country, echoes, answers to the criticisms, before and after. Many important people from inside and outside the institute including the National Education Minister of the period Hasan Ali Yücel and the General Director of Primary Education Ismail Tonguç wrote books about these subjects. An important part of the researches and articles were criticisms and answers given to the criticisms. The criticisms were made from very different points, from different aspects. Sometimes realistic and sometimes unrealistic criticisms have been made in many areas, ranging from the large number of students being employed to the peasant-urban class distinction, from the low salary of teachers to the greatness of the principals’ authority, coeducation to the absence of religion lesson. There was another dimension in the criticisms against the Institutes; an ideological dimension which was advocated to exist by those opposing to the Institutes and which was generally denied by the Institutions. The ideological dimension was criticized by some peoplebecause they saw something, by some because of conflicts of interest and by others because of different reasons. This study will focus on the ideological dimension, which was the focal point of the criticisms against the Village Institutes and which was the main cause of their closure.
