A successful example of pan-Ottomanist bureaucrat model, Midhat Pasha was appointed to Danube province, which was the pilot region of the Provincial Regulation. Once he was appointed, the governor led the implementation of Provincial Regulation which re-determined Ottoman administrative order. He showed a successful performance in the fields of public works, local administration, safety, education and culture. Midhat Pasha established reformatories in Niš, Ruse and Sofia by arousing humanitarian feelings of Muslims and Christians. He enabled to the abandoned children who were trained in the reformatories in Niš, Ruse and Sofia to master at a branch of art. Midhat Pasha used co-education as a precaution to prevent Bulgarians from going to the schools in Russia and stop nationalism spreading over Bulgarians. Midhat Pasha’s successful performance on co-education implementation, which enabled widespread use of modern schools, set a model for the development of public schools in other provinces. The study mainly focuses on Midhat Pasha’s implementations in Danube Province which can be seen as a "laboratory" of the Ottomanism after 1856 and the reformatory that had a profound impact on the Ottoman’s central policy with regard to the ideology of education and financing of schools.
