Abstract
In the second half of the 19th century different models of differentiated-reduced education of girls were practiced. The school laws of that time prescribed physical separation of boys from girls through: different school buildings, school shifts, separate classrooms and special sitting arrangement.
Teaching basics prescribed different teaching subjects for boys and girls. In girls’ education the emphasis was on subjects of practical character: female handwork and domestic science. In educational subjects girls had reduced classes, regarding both the extent and the depth of the classes.
In this paper we investigated how professional and scientific public reacted to different practice in education of girls. For this purpose we analyzed the articles on girls’ education that had been published in Napredak between the years 1859 and 1909. In professional and scientific public the influence of emancipation movement can be felt and the attitudes towards girls’ education were significantly ahead of school practice.
