Instructions for male and female teachers, printed in Skopje, Kosovo, is an Ottoman work, influenced by Cours de pédagogie théorique et pratique by Gabriel Compayré. It was written by Sabri Cemil Yalkut (1882-1957) with an attempt to bring modern pedagogical approach to the Ottoman schools.

Sabri Cemil Yalkut was an important Ottoman educator, responsible for bringing modern education to many parts of the empire. He was born in Priština and was appointed, after graduating from literature in Istanbul, a director of a gymnasium of Skopje. He was later posted to Bursa, Damaskus and Balıkesir.

Sabri Cemil was also active as a poet and author. He supported the simplification of the Ottoman language in literature, so it would be accessible to everyone.
