The education of female children in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the ottoman ocupation from 1463. to 1878.

Kako je školovanje ženske djece u Bosni i Hercegovini u prošlim vremenima bilo rijetkost i predstavljalo, često, kamen spoticanja između onih koji su bili za i onih protiv, ovaj će članak pokušati podrobnije osvijetliti to pitanje. Svako je doba imalo svoje argumente i razloge zašto su žene ostajale postrani kad je u pitanju obrazovanje. U osmanskom razdoblju djeca su školovana u konfesionalnim školama koje su bile na niskoj odgojnoj-obrazovnoj razini. Uglavnom su poučavani vjerski predmeti i osnove čitanja i pisanja. Muškoj je djeci bilo dopušteno ići u škole, a za žensku to nije bilo uvijek najsretnije rješenje. Ponekad bi se u tekstovima koji su obrađivali osmansko razdoblje pojavio lik pokoje učiteljice, ali bez ikakva uvoda i zaključka otkud je došla i gdje je svršila škole. Međutim, i ti podaci svjedoče da su žene, istina rijetke u vrijeme Osmanskog Carstva, uspijevale steći određeno obrazovanje ili barem pismenost.The education of female children was a very rare phenomenon in the past of Bosnia and Herzegovina and it caused serious struggles between those who were for and those who were against such education. This article aims to shed some light to this issue. Each period of history had its own arguments and reasons for depriving women from education. During the Ottoman Period children were educated in confessional schools which were at a very low educational level. Religious courses were main school subject as well as reading and writing. Male children were allowed to go to schools but female children were not encouraged to do so. Sometimes in certain texts that deal with the Ottoman Period a few characters of female teachers are mentioned, but no details about their origin or education have been found. Nevertheless, these data prove that women, although not many of them, succeeded to gain certain education or become literate in this period
