Turkish Education Association

TED History
With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, education has been one of the areas that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has focused on as a priority and supported all kinds of investments for its development. In 1925, Ataturk called on private individuals and organizations to contribute to education in a speech to parliament. Upon this call, the Turkish Maarif Society, as it is now called, was founded on January 31, 1928, under the leadership of the staffs who founded the Republic. For this reason, our school is the first step in the opening of qualified Turkish schools that Ataturk longs for and which are studying in a foreign language. The Turkish Education Association (TED), whose first president is Turkey's second president, Ismet Inonu, received its torch, the symbol of education, from the Turkish Flag in its emblem, which was adopted in 1929, and its stars from the desire to immortalize respect and love for the five members of the first board of directors. Turkish Education Association started its education activities with its kindergarten, which opened on Gazi Mustafa Kemal Boulevard in 1931.

In his speech at the opening of the Turkish Grand National Assembly on November 1, 1925, The Great Leader Ataturk, who believed in the indispensable importance of education for the modernization of Turkey, stated that the work of the special initiative is needed to reach the targeted level in education and called on the society. In line with this basic vision, the Turkish Education Association was born on January 31, 1928, under the leadership of Ataturk and the staffs who founded the Republic of Turkey, and obtained the status of a PublicLy Beneficial Association with the Decision of the Council of Ministers dated December 12, 1939. Our Association, whose first name is "Turkish Maarif Society", has been successfully working under the name of "Turkish Education Association" since 1946.

As stated in Article 2 of the Association's Charter, "The President is the high protector of the Turkish Education Association." Our association has been operating in the field of education since its establishment as a well-established non-governmental organization, and at the same time supports the education of moral, understanding and hardworking Turkish children who do not have sufficient materiality and makes material and scientific contributions to Turkish educational life.
