Authors:Zeynep Burcu ŞAHİN Abstract: After the period of national struggle, Turkey entered a new era; Differences of opinion, which were not taken into account during the war, started to show themselves. Military and political leaders who worked together during the period of national struggle had a disagreement on these issues in the period when the economic, political, and social change had begin; These differences of opinion, fed by personal resentments and mutual distrust between the leaders, paved the way for the birth of the Terakkiperver Cumhuriyet Party, the second political party of the Republic of Turkey. The Terakkiperver Cumhuriyet Party and the dissident Istanbul press that supported it stated the transition to a new era in Turkey which bears the pain of democratization and modernization efforts. Examining this short-term wave of freedom and opposition seen in the press and suspended with the Law of Reconciliation is important for the correct reading of our democratic history. The restrictions on the freedom of the press implemented in the following period differ from the tyranny of the press in authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. These restrictions are against any idea that advocates retrogression and any threat to progress. The subject of this study is the reflections of dissenting views on the press during the transition to the multi-party system and the situation of the press of the period. The study aims to shed light on the problems experienced today by looking at the problems experienced in the democratization process in Turkey from the perspective of freedom of the press.

On the other hand, higher education is the last important stage of education. For this reason, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk gave importance to education and training both during the National Struggle and the following period. This process continued even after his death.
