Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Discussions about changing the alphabet began with the Tanzimat Period (the Hatt-i Sharif of Gülhane) and continued in the periods of second Constitutional Monarchy and Turkish Republic. After the proclamation of the Republic, one of the reform movements carried out was the adoption of the Latin alphabet in 1 November 1928 under the name of "Law on the Acceptance and Application of Turkish Letters". After Arabic alphabet abandoned for such reasons as its script itself and difficulty in learning, people began to recognize Latin alphabet with the help of courses of the new letters in various places. The local paper in Konya Babalık devoted a great effort in introducing and promoting the new letters/ alphabet by making some broadcasts and news. It wasn’t until National Schools were opened that people from all strata continued to have learning in structions on the new alphabet, and that they received National Schools’ diploma by identifying the new letters in the A and B courses opened in the city centre of Konya and in its towns and villages for young and old alike. Having had undeniable contribution in teaching the Latin alphabet to the people through out the country and thus, increasing the rate of literacy, Nation Schools lost operability soon after the begenning of the year 1935.
