Ottoman Period Schools

There were four schools in the village in the old days. Three of them were teaching Greek and one of them was teaching Turkish. Greek was spoken in Turkish schools, and Turkish was spoken in Greek schools, since coeducation was generally provided. The school, which has ruins in Manamatlı, was built by Georgios Keşişoğlu (1740-1797) in the 1700s. Later, the school was renovated by Pangioti Aseri (1850-1920) under the name of Aserios Scol. Kostantinos Keşişo*lu (1836-1910) from Aşa*köy is also a philanthropist who helped schools, churches, bridges, and forests. Since he spoke Turkish very well, he had favorable relations between Turks and other communities. He always succeeded in resolving conflicts between communities amicably. For this reason, the İstavri community declared itself as the benefactor of the village on 13.09.1918 as a token of gratitude and gratitude after his death.

The school that provides Turkish-language instruction is in Karauchi. Another school was located in Galos and was bilingual.

Panagioti Aseri (1850-1920) was born in Manamatlı. Then he went to the city of Kerch in Crimea. He worked there and came back rich. He built many bridges, schools and fountains with the money he earned.
