Sažetak

During Nikola Tesla’s education, the
primary schooling system consisted of threeyear
schools and four-year schools, where
fourth grade could last for two years. In his
native Smiljan, Tesla attended a three-year
school, and in Gospić he continued his primary
education and the three lower grades
of his secondary education. He continued
his education at the The Imperial and Royal
Grammar School (Realschule) in Rakovac
(now part of the city of Karlovac), where
he was oriented towards the natural sciences,
especially physics, thanks to the school’s
excellent teaching equipments, books, laboratory
instruction, and the work of top professors,
among whom Martin Sekulić stood out. He passed his final examination in 1873.
To mark the 150th anniversary of his graduation,
Gimnazija Karlovac, the successor of
The Imperial and Royal Grammar School in
Rakovac, organized an exhibition of teaching
equipment and books from Tesla’s time
at school, which are protected cultural assets
of the Republic of Croatia.
