Development of the Secondary Education in Bulgaria (1878–1944)

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the development of the secondary education in Bulgaria during the period from the Liberation in 1878 up to 1944, where the focus is on the government policy regarding the secondary education and the legislation of the secondary school (gymnasium) as a part of the education system. The body of the article is supported with statistical data. There are two periods outlined within the development – the first one covers the time from the Liberation until 1909 while the second one is from 1909 to 1944. The first period is characterized by a strive towards the leveling of the male and female secondary/high schools and their consolidation as a ground for higher education. During the second period the high school takes after the European one, it develops steadily and the short and ineffective changes do not bear any influence on the gradual expansion of the web of high schools (full – male, female, mixed – or semigymnasium; with a real, half-classical or classical curriculum).
