Ataturk's Reforms
The educational reforms combined with the opening of People's Houses throughout the country and the active encouragement of people by Ataturk himself with many trips to the countryside teaching the new alphabet
The literacy reform was also supported by strengthening the private publishing sector with a new Law on Copyrights and congresses for discussing the issues of copyright, public education and scientific publishing

With the unification of education, along with the closure of the oldstyle universities, applied a largescale program of science transfer from Europe One of the cornerstone of educational institutions, the University of Istanbul, accepted German and Austrian scientists who the National Socialist regime in Germany had considered 'racially' or politically undesirable This political decision was accepted as the building the nucleus of science as a modern institution in Turkey The reform aimed to break away the traditional dependency on the transfer of science and technology by foreign experts
Another important part of Ataturk's reforms encompassed his emphasis on the Turkish language and history, leading to the establishment of Turkish Language Association and Turkish Historical Society for research on Turkish language and history, during the years 19312
