PROGYMNASIUM AND GYMNASIUMS IN IREVAN GOVERNORATE

Abstract

The article examines about the gymnasium and progymnasium in the Irevan Governorate from 1849 to 1917, which was one of the governorates of Northern Azerbaijan during the time of tsarist Russia, and in 1918 there was established a state of Ararat (Armenia) in accordance with the political conditions of the time. Research shows that the 19th century entered the history of pedagogical thought, public education, and school education in Azerbaijan as a new period. Important steps in this area have been taken since the turn of the century. Radical measures have been taken to replace centuries-old religious schools and madrassas with new ones. In the 19th, as in the entire South Caucasus, relatively favorable conditions were created for the development of education and schools in Azerbaijan and its provinces, including the Iravan region. The creation of local school administrations has made an important contribution to expanding the school network in the region and providing schools with teachers. In some uyezds of the Irevan Governorate, former uyezd schools have been transformed into city schools, later gymnasium and progymnasiums. All of these is researched in the article on the basis of Russian-language sources in the article.
