This study aims to analyze state policies of control applied to the Ottoman state schools from the Tanzimat to the end of the Hamidian period as an essential but neglected part of the 19th-century Ottoman educational modernization and state reform. The research corpus on the control of education in the Late Ottoman Emipre ignores the issue of the control of education during the Tanzimat and Hamidian periods and places it in an insignificant position. According to the consensus shared by almost all researchers, the first attempts at control in the modern sense took place during the Second Constitutional Era, when the state issued several regulations regarding control. In addition, according to the secondary literature, indicated eras the "formation" years of the state schools would be inspected during the Second Constitutional Era. This study is an attempt to challenge the consensus shared by the existing literature on control of education and to place it in a broader context in order to better understand the policies of control carried out on state schools during these periods. Accordingly, in order to achieve the main objective of the study, the dissertation will evaluate the problem of educational control from 1869, when the core structure of control was established with the Maârif-i Umumiyye Nizâmnâmesi (The Regulation of Public Education), to 1909, the end of the Hamidian rule.
