Summary/Abstract: By the beginning of the twentieth century, there were approximately 5,000 elementary schools with only one classroom, 23 high schools, a few industry schools and a university in the Ottoman Empire. The issue of employment of graduates from industrial schools and a small number of other schools in the country was a different problem. Vocational and technical education was not included in the education policy of the state except for a few high schools in the main cities to raise of the government officials. So, few of the urban young Muslim population had a profession and business. As a matter of fact, along with the achievement of the Turkish National Movement, education and economic issues were given importance first. On the one hand, vocational and technical schools were opened, while on the other hand national industrial facilities were established in succession and thus the education and employment problems of the young population were tried to be solved. By the Republic 15th year, was made significant progress toward the both in the modernization of education and in the issue of employment. But soon the drifting of the world into a new great war and the subsequent developments has adversely affected this process. In this process, the education and employment of young people has become a big problem because of poverty. Immediately after the Second World War, in other words, in the process of the transition of multi-party system, with regard to this problem, the findings, arrangements and recommendations of the Republican People’s Party’s Trabzon Deputy Faik Ahmet Barutçu are extremely important.
