Abstract

The first years of the Republic were the years when serious changes were made in the field of education, and both legal changes and practices were intensively implemented in order to create a national, secular and modern education system.  In this context, it is aimed to convey the changes made with the Journal of Notifications, which has been published by the Ministry of Education since 1924, to all teachers. It is seen that there are sections such as laws, regulations, instructions, council decisions, appointments, awards and punishments related to education between 1924 and 1928 in this journal, which is published monthly. In this study, the rewards and punishments in the February, March, April, May and June issues of the Journal of Tebliğler, published in 1926, were examined. The research is a qualitative study conducted with a case study pattern. The obtained data were analyzed by content analysis method, visualized in line with the determined themes and presented in the findings section. In the documents examined as a result of the analyzes, information on 102 education employees, 19 women and 83 men, was obtained. It has been determined that mostly teachers are involved, but also people who hold administrative positions such as education directors, principals, primary education inspectors, and education officers receive rewards and punishments. The distribution of awards and punishments according to gender, duty type, school and branch and the reasons for the punishments are given in detail in the findings section. As a result of the study, it is understood that the punishments given by the Ministry of Education are mainly based on reasons such as abusing the profession, lack of moral values, not having the qualifications required by the profession.
