ABSTRACT
Different applications have been initiated for the restructuring of the Turkish education System, with the proclamation of the Republic and 123 training experts have been invited to Turkey between the years 1923-1960 in this regard. 19 people have been requested to prepare the report in relation with their fields of specialization among the foreign education experts arriving in Turkey between these dates; however, these experts have produced reports that include the whole of the Turkish education system. This situation has also led to superficial assessment of some issues that need to be addressed specially. The physical education and sports field, which is one of these areas, is handled very superficially in the expert reports, even they have seen to be affected from the reports carried out before themselves and their reports are in the situational dimension rather than functionality. As there is no adequate development in the field of physical education and sports within the reformed education system, the Republic of Turkey has taken measures to bring foreign physical education and sports experts to Turkey through government agencies such as Turkey Training Community Alliance (TTCA), Turkish Sports Authority, the General Directorate of Physical Education and to develop this field in modern sense.
