İmportant function was given to educatipn so as to have people adopt the reforms. In this regard, the schools having been inherited form the Ottoman were modernized and educational programs were renewed.

From the establisment date of 1932 to the closing of 1951, in addition to many needs of the Turkish society it is obvious it was very effective to transfer the reforms to poeple. Through the People’s Houses it was intended to base Atatürk’s principles and reforms on a strong ground, to establish national culture, to establish a bridge between Turkish intellectuals and people and to create a productive society having common concerns and ideals. With the establishment of the People’s Houses some important developments in the field of culture and education were made and several journals and books were published in order to inform and educate people on every subject.
