This study aims to identify primary school buildings constructed in İzmir between the years 1923 and 1950 and understand them within the national context and its reflection on the local. For this purpose, the national primary education system and school construction policies were researched, and their local reflections were discussed through the specific case of İzmir. The results of this research demonstrate that the national policies, instigating the extension of school buildings throughout the country, were successfully implemented in İzmir, and contrary to numerous other cities, new school buildings were constructed homogenously not only in the city and sub-province centers but also in the villages. This meant that, a wide spectrum of schools differing in their scales and qualities, ranging from multi-spaced city and sub-province schools built in highly populated areas to single-spaced village schools constructed in settlements of low population levels were built in İzmir. Detailed archival research, site surveys and literature reviews showed that 500 new primary schools were built in 1923-1950, 99 of which provided information in more detail in the form of visual and written documents. Based on this data, it was possible to establish the type of projects that were implemented in İzmir, the designing persons or institutions, their design criteria and the school construction processes.
