Trgovci dobrotvori srpskog školstva u Bosni i Hercegovini u XIX vijeku
Merchants benefactors of Serbian education in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 19th century

Summary/Abstract: Serbian education in the Bosnian Pashaluk developed during the 19th century in complex political circumstances. The small number of schools was accompanied by the low quality of teaching, which mostly had a religious dimension. In the middle of the 19th century, the Serbian merchant class became more involved in the work of Serbian schools. The previous school programs did not correspond to the needs of the merchant class, which demanded a more modern education. Many Serbian merchants from Bosanski Pashaluk financed the needs of Serbian schools, churches, magazines and various cultural societies. These Serbian patriots and benefactors understood the historical time in which they lived and the fact that the strong Serbian education was base of national identity and overall national progress.
