What the school was
The rüşdiye, the lower secondary school of the Ottoman state, taken after the primary school. The first opened in Istanbul in 1847; at the end of the reign of Abdülhamid II there were 619, 74 of them for girls.
What was taught
- the programme of 1869 for boys: religious knowledge, Ottoman Turkish grammar, spelling and composition, Arabic and Persian grammar, drawing, elementary geometry, bookkeeping, general and Ottoman history, geography, gymnastics, the local language, and French for able pupils in the fourth year in towns of trade
Admission
- entry after the primary school
- four years of study under the regulation of 1869, which called for a boys' rüşdiye in every place of more than 500 households
Standing and pay of its pupils
In the paper's grouping a completed rüşdiye is the middle level of schooling, and it did not shorten the years an official of the ministry worked without a salary. Findley judges the rüşdiye little better than an elementary school in modern terms.

From the first work in the personnel record to the first year with a salary in the annual lists took a median of 2 years (3,164 officials). The figure is too high for officials who began before about 1868 (AH 1285), when the annual lists are thin: the years before their first listed year count in it. The unpaid years above are the better measure of the wait for a salary.
