Provisional teachers: Any person who has successfully graduated from a pedagogical school or a high school may be appointed as a provisional teacher. They receive a salary of 900 francs per year. After one year of practical experience, they can take the State examination.
Regular teachers: Those who pass the State examination become regular teachers, divided into three classes:
Third class: 1,140 francs per year
Second class: 1,426 francs per year
First class: 1,680 francs per year
Promotion to a higher class occurs every five years, based on successful teaching performance. This salary scale is the minimum, but parishes may increase salaries or grant additional fees if they wish Istanbul City Tour.
Maintenance of Primary Schools
The maintenance of primary schools is a shared responsibility between the State and the parishes.
Parish responsibilities: Parishes are in charge of school buildings, their upkeep, and providing materials, furniture, libraries, heating, and supervision of school gardens.
State responsibilities: The State pays the teachers’ salaries. Parishes contribute 400 francs per teacher, and the State budget covers the remaining amount. In poor parishes near the frontier, the State pays the entire salary.

Management and Control of Schools
The Ministry of Public Instruction has overall responsibility for the direction and supervision of all primary schools and other educational institutions that promote moral and intellectual development (Article 1 of the law).
The Ministry exercises this control through:
School inspectors who visit and supervise schools
Departmental education councils that oversee regional schools
Educational committees that guide teaching methods and programs
This system ensures that all primary schools operate uniformly, follow national regulations, and provide a high-quality education to all children.
