The role and importance of the village institutes in Turkish literature

Seoski instituti obrazovne su institucije koje su djelovale u Turskoj u razdoblju od 1940. do 1950. godine. Njihov cilj bio je uklopiti seljake u novi sustav i podučiti ih novim tehnikama u poljoprivredi. S obzirom na to da je 80 % populacije živjelo na selu od čega ih je samo 14 % bilo pismeno, razumljivo je zašto su obrazovanje seljaka i razvoj poljoprivrede bili glavne potrebe toga doba. Veliku ulogu seoski instituti imali su i u turskoj književnosti s obzirom na to da je zahvaljujući njima stasala jedna nova generacija književnika koja je postala predvodnicima seoske književnosti i romana sela u turskoj književnosti.The Village Institutes were an educational institutions opened in Turkey between 1940 and 1950. Their aim was to bring the peasants in the regime and to teach them modern agricultural techniques. Given that 80 % of the population lived in villages and only 14 % was literate, it can be understood why the education of the peasants and the development of agriculture was seen as one of the urgent needs at the time. The Village institutes also had a great role in Turkish literature. Thanks to them matured a new generation of writers who later became leaders of rural literature and village novel in Turkish literature
