Ziya Gökalp Anatolian High School (Turkish: Ziya Gökalp Anadolu Lisesi) is a co-educational Anatolian High School located in the Yenişehir district of Diyarbakır, Turkey.[1] The school is named after Turkish intellectual Mehmet Ziya Gökalp, a prominent nationalist writer and sociologist.

Ziya Gökalp Anatolian High School is among the oldest 100 high schools in Turkey[2] and has a reputation for producing bureaucrats, politicians and poets.[3][4] The high school admits students without examination and teaches English and German as foreign languages.

History

[edit]

Ziya Gökalp Anatolian High School was originally founded as Diyarbekir High School (Turkish: Diyarbekir İdâdîsi), which began operating in the academic year 1891-1892.[5] The İdâdî had 5 years of schooling in 1893-1898 and 1901-1910, and 7 years in 1898-1901 and 1910-1913.[6] In 1913, idâdî institutions were closed, and the school became a sultânî on November 16, 1913. Ottoman participation in the First World War and the reliance on conscripts meant that the institution closed its schooling for higher years until 1921.[7] The institution was known as "Diyarbakır Lisesi" after July 1923, but officially closed again as a result of the Sheikh Said rebellion in 1925, though still providing an education under the name "Diyarbakır Erkek Orta Mektebi" from 1926 to 1932.[5]

During his visit to the city on October 1, 1932, Prime Minister İsmet İnönü dined in the People's House where its president and members requested a high school. After İnönü promised to reopen the high school, the institution started educating in the academic year 1932-1933.[7]

The present school building was completed in 1946 and the name was changed to Ziya Gökalp High School in 1953. In the 1990-1991 academic year, the secondary was closed and the school became an Anatolian High School.[6]
