Abstract
The study describes historical development of secondary education,
particularly accentuating the middle of the 19th century as the period of introduction
and embedment of the school-leaving examination, referred to as maturity
examination,after which the students were prepared for higher education.
The mentioned examination was introduced gradually not only because of
political influences but also because of the lack of teaching staff .
A very important part in the instructional process of the time was the students'
code of conduct – considered crucial for their personal growth as well as for the
public welfare.
The research was carried out in the archives of Prva sušačka hrvatska
gimnazija in Rijeka and the Croatian School Museum in Zagreb. Literature was
consulted and living students of that time interviewed.
