Summary/Abstract: The lower vocational Housekeeping schools (NSDŠ) were four year schools for female youth that were introduced in 1952 i 1953 in 24 towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One such school was established in Gračanica in 1952 and closed in 1957. During this period two generations graduated. The school was not a part of the regular school system (it did not have its own legal status), so the female students that graduated did not acquire any recognized vocational qualification or profession, but were ready to work as auxiliary workers in institutions and companies on the base of their acquired knowledge and skills – apart from also being ready to lead their own household on the basis of these skills. For these reasons the NSDŠ had a lot of success during its five year activity, and gained a greater reputation both in Gračanica as well as in the wider area.
