School

A long but not very well focussed discussion.
6 teachers
i(1541 Gezici)
i(1272 Kazim) {gl: I think I remember he was head teacher at this point.}
i(1272 Kazim)'s son
2 women
i(Faruk { a village teacher - local?}

{added in margin - informant} [i(1272 Kazim) in cafe]

6 Dershane {classrooms}

i(1272 Kazim)

1st class A45 B40
2nd class 55
3rd class 67
4th class 47
5th class 43

They said males more than females not 70/30 but probably 60/40.

"Devam" ok deisti {continuing has changed much} - everyone now wants sons to go on and many girls also. Almost all children begin.

I tried to ask about relevance. They said changes in "program"

1948 - not very good
1962 - new one
1968 - new one

Now e.g. teachers divided children into groups within their class. No streaming i.e. 1st class is not divided by ability.

Now - children are expected to do much more for themselves, to make their own "program" (?). Much better - they say.

i(Faruk erbetci) {S.of} i(1543 mer erbetci) (i(1430 Mustafa Kul)'s damat {DH})
Did not add much - 67 children impossible

i(1541 Gezici)
he no longer has to go and fetch girls, - they bring them to school.
