THE ESTABLISHMENT PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND MINING
Sciences,Deparment of History dr.cetinaykurt@gmail.com , ORCID: 0000-0001-5467-8659 Abstract In the mid-19th century, the Ottoman Empire set out to train technical personnel in this field with the aim of making better use of its forests and mines and increasing their economic productivity. As the state managed both forests and mines, care was taken to bring the schools established for these purposes together under one roof. First, a forestry school was opened, followed by a mining school. The main problem facing these schools was finding students who had completed secondary education and knew French. The first forestry education in the Ottoman Empire began in Istanbul in 1857 under the direction of Louis Tassy, who had been brought over from France. Instruction was conducted in French. In the minutes of the Meclis-i Âli Tanzimat dated 23 June 1859, it was noted that the engineers who were to teach did not know Turkish and that the textbooks to be used were also in French; consequently, instruction continued with six individuals selected from among the clerks of the Bâbıâli Translation Office. On 4 January 1871, the ‘Forestry School Regulations’ were issued. Under these regulations, the school was organised as a two-year course. On 4 January 1874, the Mining School was established. According to the Mining Regulations, the aim was to train personnel capable of carrying out the necessary inspections. In 1893, the Forestry and Mining School was closed. It was decided that miners would be trained in Europe, whilst foresters would be trained at the Halkalı Agricultural School. In 1910, a two-year school was established under the name ‘Orman Mekteb-i Âli’. In 1917, modelled on a school in Germany, the duration was extended to three years.
