Blind children were her family - Bogomira Silvija Dobovšek, the long-time principal and teacher of the Kočevje and Ljubljana institutes for the blind

Summary/Abstract: Bogomira Dobovšek holds a special place among the teachers and principals of the Kočevje and Ljubljana institutes for the blind. With shorter intermissions, she led the institute from 1929 until her retirement in 1963. Her resourcefulness, as well as organisational and pedagogical skills raised the institutes’ professional work to an enviable level. She was sensitive to the needs of the blind, and she organised their schooling in a modern way. She surrounded herself with a number of dynamic and humane educators who established a new school for the blind in Ljubljana in 1965. Her private life was virtually non-existent. She lived for her work and for the welfare and progress of the institute and its boarders. She never married. She spent all her free time with and for the blind. They were her family.
