Gazi University

Gazi University is a public university located primarily in Ankara, Turkey.

Gazi University was founded in 1926 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, as the Gazi Teacher Training Institute. The school was established to train teachers for the new Turkish Republic, which had been founded just a few years earlier.

In 1929, the Gazi Teacher Training Institute was moved to its current location in Ankara, and its name was changed to the Gazi Institute for Teacher Training and Education for Middle Schools. In 1948, the school was renamed the Gazi Institute of Education.

In 1980, the Gazi Institute of Education was transformed into the Gazi Higher School of Teacher Training, which provided education with a duration of 4 years. In 1982, following the establishment of Gazi University, the Gazi Higher School of Teacher Training was renamed the Gazi Faculty of Education.

Gazi University is now one of the largest and most prestigious universities in Turkey. It is known for its high academic standards and its commitment to research. Gazi University is also a major center for student life, with a variety of student clubs and organizations, as well as a number of cultural and athletic facilities.
