In order to spread literacy and increase the education level of the Turkish people, the Arabic letters were abolished in 1928 and the Turkish alphabet used today was adopted. Atatürk, who carried out the writing revolution, was given the title of "Head Teacher" by the Council of Ministers in 1928. The statue, which symbolizes Atatürk's carrying the letter revolution to Tekirdağ, was shaped on a marble plate background, which was placed on a marble pedestal and narrowed from the bottom up. Eser Süleymanpaşa is also located on the coast.
