[1][2] On Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's orders, the Minister of the Interior Sükrü Kaya supervised the creation of an environment which permitted the Turkification of the Kurdish girls and the raising of future Turks.
[7] The institute was described as transforming "savage Kurdish" girls into "civilized" i.e. "Turkicised"[7] young women[8][9] and compared to an American factory where cows entered at one end and sausages came out the other.
[7][10][9] Of the Kurdish alumni, photographs from the time of their arrival and their departure from the institute were taken to show the progress in their assimilation towards Turkishness.
[13] In later years, when the recruiting process was supervised by a civilian, resistant villagers disguised the girls as boys or married them off so they were not taken.
[13] From 1939 onwards, the school was for most of the time administered by Sıdıka Avar, a Turkish teacher from Istanbul, who became the principal of the institute.
[17] The Inspectorate General granted permission and the first graduates of the further education were sent as teachers to the Akçadağ Village Institute.
