Abstract
Education and culture are two areas closely related to each other. Especially the changes and transformation in the field of education brought by the modern period radically changed the cultural characteristics of the societies. The Tanzimat Period means the reform period starting from 1839 with the proclamation of Gülhane Hatt-ı Hümayunu (Tanzimat Edict) to the year of 1876 in which the Ottoman Empire was proclaimed a constitutional monarchy. The reforms in the Tanzimat Period turned into a social modernization project. The Tanzimat Period means disengagement in the cultural area just like in many other areas from the previous period in the Ottoman Empire. This study analyzed the educational reforms in the Tanzimat Period where the first comprehensive initiatives toward modernization were launched in the Ottoman Empire, and the impacts of these reforms on the individuals and the social culture. The study also discussed what kind of legacy did this period leave to the Turkish Republic in the context of the relationship between education and culture. The study aims to re-evaluate the education-culture relationship in this period by breaking away from the existing stereotypes. Historical research were used as a method.
