Abstract

Having in mind that the first state four-grade elementary school (so called “national school”) was founded in 1885/1886 in Zenica (let us remind on the fact that 2381 years after foundation of Plato’s Academy Zenica University started with its work – 2006), it is hard to imagine how the institutional education (in general sense of the word) began in other geographical sites 25 centuries ago. Were those institutions founded randomly or deliberately as rationally based planned projects, were they private or public, mundane or spiritual? Or, the foundation of educational institutions was the mixture of the above mentioned – depending on geographical, national, historical and spiritual coordinates?
