Sažetak
Evidence of education in Lika exsists from the Middle Ages. Public schools did not
exsist then, but people were educated by private teachers, mostly priests. With the
liberation of Lika, more convenient conditions for the development of education
were made. The purpose of this paper is to explore the beginnings of the common
people’s education in Lika. With the establishment of the border regiment, they
try to open schools so that the army could recieve better officers. The number of
schools was small because of conservative politics, so their impact on the enlightenment of people was also small. The community did not care for school much
because of the German language which was used in school and they had to give
payment to the school in which teachers were mostly German.
The reputation of school was small because often the teachers themselves were
not well educated and the training was forced upon them which often made the
people resist.
Enlighted autocratics wanted to save the feudal society with education by
accepting the ideas of social reformers and avoiding radical reforms of society. At
the same time, they try to completely Germanise the non German people which
was the intention of school.
Common schools were used as educational institutions because of the shortage
of trained teachers. The regard to the education of girls was small, almost none.
