THE SCHOOLS OF SENJ PODGORJE

Na području senjskog Podgorja pučko je školstvo u prošlosti bilo dosta dobro razvijeno, tako da gotovo u svim mjestima i naseljima mjesne vlasti su uz pomoć nadležnih političkih i prosvjetnih institucija otvarali najprije četverorazredne, a potom i šestorazredne, odnosno osmorazredne osnovne škole. Njihovo prosvjetno djelovanje ovisilo je najviše od materijalnih i prostornih mogućnosti, ali kasnije i brojčanog stanja polaznika u pojedinim naseljima. Put od otvaranja do konačnog njihova zatvaranja u nekim sredinama nije bio dug. O svemu tome ukratko će biti predstavljene sve škole od otvaranja do konačnog njihova prestanka s radom sa svim relevantnim podatcima do kojih sam došao u skromnoj školskoj dokumentaciji. Temeljitije i opširnije sam o podgorskim pučkim školama pisao i objavio u knjizi pod naslovom Školstvo senjskog Podgorja u nakladi Matice hrvatske Senj, godine 2008. O njima ima temeljitije stručno i znanstveno predstavljeno sa svim pojedinostima, školama, učiteljima i učenicima u senjskim zbornicima 13, 17, 20, 21 i 22. U dodatnim istraživanjima na ovu temu u pripremi za znanstveni skup o Podgorju u ovom radu malo je novijih podataka, jer su prethodno temeljito obrađene sve podgorske škole.Over the area of Senj Podgorje public education in the past was quite well developed, and so in almost all towns and settlements of local authority with the help of the competent political and educational institutions they first of all opened four-grade, then six-grade, and eight-grade elementary schools. Their educational activity depended mostly on the material and spatial possibilities, but later also on the number of attendees in individual settlements. The time from the opening to their final closure in some places was not long. About all of that will be briefly presented all the schools from their opening to their final cessation of work with all the relevant data to which I arrived at in the modest school documentation. I have written and published more thoroughly and in more detail about the public schools in a book entitled Školstvo senjskog Podgorja (Schooling of Senj Podgorje) published by Matica Hrvatska Senj, in 2008. They are more expertly and scientifically presented with all the details, schools, teachers and students in the 13, 17, 20, 21 and 22 issues of the Senj Zbornik. In additional research on this subject in preparation for a scientific meeting about Podgorje there is less of their data in this paper because all of Podgorje schools were thoroughly analysed previously
