Period of Abdülhamid II and his
administration started with a ruinous event, Turkish-Russia war of 1877-1878,
and he intensely concerned about his Empire and territorial integrity. Thus he
and his minister made a great effort for the development of education in the
central and provinces of the Empire in order to consolidate Ottoman identity
among his tebaa, subjects. One of the
provinces that he instrumentalized education was Salonica where nationalist
movements gained importance. The purpose of this study is to uncover Muslim
schooling in Salonica during Sultan Abdülhamid II era; community’s thoughts on
education; the policy of the government towards Muslim, especially women, and non-muslim
population in terms of organization, establishment and funding of schools via
mostly primary sources taken from Ottoman archives.
