It features images of schools inspected by Lâtif Öktem in the 1920s across Diyarbakır, Mardin, Balıkesir, Istanbul, Kırklareli, and Çanakkale; excursions with school principals, teachers, and students; Republic Day celebrations; and photographs of family members who migrated from Crimea to Romania and Istanbul, alongside Bahriye Öktem’s photographs with teachers and students at Moda Elementary School.
