ORGANIZATION AND ACTIVITY OF STATE GYMNASIUMS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA FROM 1918 TO 1929.

Summary/Abstract: State Gymnasiums in Bosnia and Herzegovina took an important place in the school system of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Through gymnasiums political, economic, cultural, national and other goals of the ruling political elites were realized. In the period from 1918 to 1929, the number of gymnasiums in Bosnia and Herzegovina increased from 7 to 17. The number of pupils climbed from 2,279 to 6,655, and the number of teachers from 174 to 264. Curricula goals were cleared from content that aligned with the interests of the Austro-Hungarian regime. The ruling elite spread the idea of “one nation with three names”, striving to create a unique political, economic, educational and cultural space. Significant changes have been made in the group of national subjects (history, geography, Serbian or Croatian language), with emphasis on the history and geography of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, and reading material containedSerbian, Croatian and Slovenian literature. The largest number of textbooks were written by authors from Croatia and Serbia, while only a small number were from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Textbooks used in gymnasiums in Bosnia and Herzegovina were printed mainly in Croatia and Serbia (Belgrade and Zagreb), 92 of the total of 106, and only 14 or 13.21% of them were printed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
