Educational Role of Behram-Bey’s Madrasa in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Society

Summary/Abstract: There is no reliable data on when the first madrasa in Bosnia was built. According to the sources, Behram-Bey’s Madrasa in Tuzla was founded by Tuzla’s legator Behram-bey. The Madrasa was built before 1626, but it was first mentioned by Bishop Olovčić in 1647 under the Latin name “Collegium imporum Softarum”. Significant data on the curricula under which classes in Behram-Bey’s Madrasa were implemented until 1922 are not available. The Madrasa ceased to operate because it was banned by the communist regime on January 15, 1949. The Madrasa building was demolished in April of 1974 and only its port (gate) was left in its place. Behram-Bey’s Madrasa was reopened on October 6, 1993. Behram-bey’s Madrasa is currently the most successful high school in the ranks of high schools in the Tuzla Canton. The alumni of Behram-Bey’s Madrasa are graduates of some of the most prestigious universities in the world and they have had significant social roles in the communities in which they live and work. The social role of Behram-Bey’s Madrasah is reflected in a wide range of educational activities aimed at emphasizing the comparative and positive values of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian society.
