By the beginning of the twentieth century, there were approximately 5,000 elementary schools with only one classroom, 23 high schools, a few industry schools and a university in the Ottoman Empire. The issue of employment of graduates from industrial schools and a small number of other schools in the country was a different problem. Vocational and technical education was not included in the education policy of the state except for a few high schools in the main cities to raise of the government officials. So, few of the urban young Muslim population had a profession and business.
