Those two words are related with each other in a strong connection. Republic needs qualified and skilled public, qualified and skilled public needs well- educated individuals, finally well- educated individuals require the high qualified education system. As you can understand from this statement, education is the basic branch for a high qualified republic.
Not only about the children’s education, and also about the vocational education we are talking about. All public compromise various vocational divisions in order to sustain the system. Vocational education supports the economic development in the country. The adults also need education, too. Economy is a system that compromises all business sectors in a country. It doesn’t matter the job. Farmer, engineer or technician, it doesn’t matter who you are. You need to be qualified and trained.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk points us this necessity in order to be free and strong. He had a plan to establish a n education system that will support the necessities of the republic. This system has all economic divisions, too. An individual should earn money and also an individual has to contribute the country.
Although he was a soldier, he improved himself. He read books and increased his intelligence. He prepared math (geometry) and history books when he was a stateman. That’s why he is a real leader of Turkish Republic.
Always Atatürk..
