2. Description of Organisation Çapa Anatolian Teacher High School is a high school connected to the Turkish Ministry of Education and training its students to universities’ faculty of education. The school is the first school established especially for the purpose of teacher training in Turkey in 1848. Graduates were appointed as teachers to the schools without going any high education board until 1970s. When teacher education was handed over from the ministry of education to the universities in 1980, our school-as a secondary school-has started to train its students for education faculties of universities.
