Summary/Abstract: The article considers the attempts to create a system of primary and higher education in the Belarusian language in 1906–1907, as reflected in the journalism of the newspaper “Nasza Niwa” (“Наша Нива”), published in the Belarusian language in Vilnius. The newspaper voiced the concerns of the Belarusian national movement about the opening of Belarusian-language schools and universities, which was complicated by the dominance of the Russian language in the education system as well as the low level of literacy of the population of Belarus. At the same time, the journalism of “Nasza Niwa” cited the examples of Poles, Lithuanians and Ukrainians as those who solved these problems more successfully and should become role models for Belarusians.
