The Subject of Foreign Education in the Ottoman State: An Evaluation of Süleyman Nazif's Report on Christian Educational Institutions in Diyarbakır

Abstract

Born in Diyarbakır, Süleyman Nazif is known for his bureaucratic identity as well as his literary work. In addition to the Directorate of Printing, Provincial Letters, he served as governor in important provinces. He has many correspondences with the capital, Istanbul, about the problems he witnessed. One of them is his report on education in Diyarbakır. In his report, which he wrote in 1892, he deals with the socio-economic situation of the Muslims and Christians in the city, starting from the ancient history of Diyarbakır. Then, he deals with the issue of education with some comparisons. He visits the Catholic Capuchins' school in Diyarbakır and states his observations about this school. He deals with the influence of France and the Vatican on the school and questions the true purpose of the school. He also examines the activities of foreign missions in Mardin, a sanjak (subdivision of a province) of Diyarbakır. Süleyman Nazif compares foreign schools with the schools opened by the state and mentions the irregularity of Muslims' schools and wants some reforms in education. His report, which he wrote in his own style, is taken seriously by the top management of the state and a letter is written to Diyarbakır Education officials to resolve the issue. This situation also causes resentment with Süleyman Nazif and some officials in Diyarbakır. However, Süleyman Nazif's statement later caused some awakenings in Diyarbakır education. The efforts of Diyarbakır Governor Sırrı Pasha and Education Director Mehmet Ali Ayni, with whom he worked in harmony, also contributed greatly to this awakening. Süleyman Nazif's report contains important information about the education and bureaucratic functioning from the Ottoman general to the Diyarbakır locality in the last quarter of the 19th century. Therefore, in this study, the information in his report and the archival documents of the period were compared and a result was obtained within this framework.
