Gonen Vocational School
When we look at the history of Gönen
in terms of educational institutions, we see that it has a rich historical
heritage. Gönen Village Institute has a “Village Educators Course” history
dating back to 1939. Quite intensive work was done and hundreds of instructors
started an educational mobilization in their villages with the educational
information they received from here. With the establishment of the Village
Institutes in 1940, the name of the course became “Gönen Village Institute”. A
strong educational army was trained with a strong teaching staff. Gönen
Vocational School commenced its educational activities in the 2003-2004
academic year. Education and training started in the Isparta Vocational School
building with the Accounting Program and Office Management and Secretarial
Program within the Economic and Administrative Programs. In the 2004-2005
academic year, it moved to the building in Gönen District. The vocational
school currently continues its educational activities with six departments and
ten programs.
The university was established as a new university in Isparta under the name of Isparta University of Applied Sciences with the “Law No. 7141 on Amendments to the Higher Education Law and Certain Laws and Legislative Decrees”, which was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Turkey dated May 18, 2018 and numbered 30425.
