There's also http://muslimheritage.com/article/primary-schools-under-ottomans from Foundation for Science Technology Civilisation - I don't know if it's reliable WhisperToMe (talk) 19:38, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There was also a PPT at http://archive.is/LXbAS. The original URL ( http://fin.unsa.ba/nastavna-sredstva/category/2-prezentacije?download=70:ottoman-educational-system-mujesira-zimi-gljiva&start=20 ) died but the Google Cache was still there, so I archived.

Relevance to education sections of successor countries

[edit]

@Loksmythe: Hi! Re: this edit.

The Ottoman Empire made up large swathes of southeastern Europe, West Asia, and northern Africa. The empire slowly broke up and then went away completely in 1923. The listed education sections were of countries that succeeded the empire.

Middle Eastern territories changed hands as a result of World War I: Saudi Arabia took over Hejaz after it was briefly independent, the British established Iraq, Mandatory Palestine (now Israel and the Palestinian territories), and Transjordan (now Jordan) while the French established Lebanon and Syria. Yemen became independent of the Ottoman Empire.

Also the Balkan Wars meant that many European parts of the empire went independent.

In summary: This article is a list of schools that existed at the time of the empire (primarily post-Tanzimat/late 1800s/early 1900s), and the other ones are their modern equivalents. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:22, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle:

Hi! The reason why the see also was like that was because the empire massively fragmented, firstly due to independence movements and then to war. Obviously Turkey is the most relevant to the Ottoman Empire, but there were several prominent schools in other places like Greece, Lebanon, Israel, and the Palestinian territories which were created in the Ottoman era.
