The norm that makes Village Institutes a part of the Turkish legal order is the Village Institutes Act (no. 3803), which came into force in 1940. The Institutes, whose structure was strengthened by the Organization of Village Schools and Institutes Act (no. 4274), which came into force in 1942, were subject to a number of laws since 1947 and ended with the law titled Integration of Village Institutes and Primary Teacher Schools (no. 6234), which came into force in 1954. The last of a series of laws concerning the law numbered 6234 came into force in 1969. These laws were mostly related to the working life and financial situation of the members of the Institutes. In this paper, I will trace the law which decreases the effectiveness of the Institutes and the law terminates its existence, and some laws amend the latter. Although the Institutes existed legally between 1940 and 1954, there were norms that would feed the legal debate after these years. It should be noted that the legal existence of the Institutes and the effectiveness of the norms that give life to this existence are separate discussions. This distinction, especially after the Second World War should be read in conjunction with the political developments taking place in Turkey. Therefore, this paper will make an analysis within the legal framework and postpone further discussions on how the law concerning the Institutes was interpreted and applied effectively by the politicians and administrators of the period. The main question of the paper is: Why did the Institutes, which were founded in 1940 and lost momentum since 1947, legally end in 1954? In other words, why did a legal structure that completed its establishment and organization within seven years disappear within seven years? In the Turkish literature, the questions of how and why the Institutes were closed were mostly asked. In this paper, I will focus on the will of the legislator and ask why the Institutes were gradually closed down.
