The System of Public Education on the Territory of the Black Sea Province in 1896–1917. Part 1

This work explores the system of public education in Dagestan Oblast in the period . The present part of the work examines the period up to 1884, i.e. from the year Dagestan Oblast was founded to the year the annual reports of the Trustee of the Caucasus Educational District began to be published.The key sources used in putting this work together are the 1879 Memorandum Book for the Caucasus Educational District and the 1884 Report from the Trustee of the Caucasus Educational District. These sources offer valuable statistical insight into the state of education in Dagestan Oblast in the period up to 1884. Use was also made of certain relevant reference materials.The process of building a network of educational institutions in Dagestan Oblast continued up until the mid-1880s. As at 1884, the region's total student body was 773 students.Access to secondary education was available in the region's administrative center, Temir-Khan-Shura. Lower education was available only in Derbent. In addition, the region had in place an underdeveloped network of primary schools. As a consequence, there was an imbalance in the distribution of students across the education system, with half of the region's student body attending secondary educational institutions, and the other half going to lower and primary schools.

The Development of the Regulatory Framework of the Caucasus Educational District in the Second Half of the 19th century

2022

This paper explores the development of the regulatory framework of the Caucasus Educational District in the second half of the 19 th century. Consideration is given to instruments on both general issues and specific issues dealing with secondary, lower, primary, and private education.The study's source base relies on a whole raft of legislative materials, including regulations, instructions, statutes, circular proposals, and rules. These documents were published both as part of collections of documents on issues related to the system of public education in the Caucasus Educational District and separately. The study's methodology is grounded in the principle of systematicity and the chronological principle. The use of the former helped to systematize legislative and regulatory instruments into two major groups -those on general issues and those dealing with secondary, lower, primary, and private education specifically. The use of the latter helped to examine the development of the District's regulatory framework in its chronological sequence.The author's conclusion is that in the second half of the 19 th century the Caucasus Educational District witnessed the process of unification of the regulatory framework regulating the educational process in the region. In the period from the late 1860s to the early 1870s, the government implemented in the Caucasus a set of educational standards used in the European part of the Russian Empire. These standards, which covered secondary, lower, primary, and private

“…In terms of education in other regions close to Sukhumi District, the system of public education in Black Sea Governorate was researched by A.A. Cherkasov and colleagues (Cherkasov et al, 2020;Cherkasov et al, 2020a) and that in Kuban Oblast was researched by V.S. Molchanova and colleagues (Molchanova et al, 2019;Molchanova et al, 2019a;Molchanova et al, 2020).…”

The System of Public Education in Sukhumi District in the Period 1900–1914

2022

This paper explores the system of public education in Sukhumi District in the period 1900-1914. It examines the region's secondary, lower, and primary education sectors and the student body in each of them, with information provided on the latter's size and its gender, ethnic, socialestate, and religious composition.The work primarily relies on the annual Reports of the Trustee of the Caucasus Educational District and the Most Faithful Reports of the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod. In addition, use was also made of certain relevant documents from the Russian State Historical Archive (Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation), which helped establish the total number of school-age children in Sukhumi District. The valuable data on the ethnic composition of the region's population were taken from the First General Census of the Russian Empire of 1897.The study's conclusion is that by 1914 secondary education in the region was accessible to both boys and girls only in its capital, Sukhumi. Lower education was accessible to boys in Sukhumi and Ochamchire. It became accessible to both genders in 1913 in Gudauta. As far as primary education, Sukhumi District had 64 schools run by the Ministry of Public Education and 74 parochial schools run by the Holy Synod, which, combined, had an enrollment of around 6,500 students. Despite the substantial successes of the region's education system, just 68 % of its school-age children attended school in 1914, with these including 33 % of the total number of Abkhazian, 80 % of the total number of Georgian, and 22 % of the total number of Armenian children of school age in the region.
