A contribution to the history of schools in Thessaloniki during the last quarter of the 19th century
Abstract
Primary and High Schools in Salonica before the liberation of the city in
1912 were under the immediate supervision of the bishop and the members of the Greek Community, who together with the local authorities and the School supervisory committee were responsible for the better organization of education.
The School Supervisory Committee was responsible for the repair of school buildings, the appointment of qualified teachers and professors, the provision with text-books and other tutorial equipment, the granting of scholarships to poor pupils and in general the regular function of schools.
The teachers at that time had no whatsoever protection. Their appointment as well as their dismissal depended upon the uncontrolled and sometimes irresponsible attitude of this Supervisory Committee and the local authorities. All expenses for the full operation of schools in Salonica were covered in general by the following sources: Benefactors and donors, church, Registration fees, progress notes and graduation certificates, Annual lotteries organized by the community and empbroidery exhibitions held by the girls’ college and various social activities.
For the composition of this study the following sources were used: Five unpublished codes of the Historical File of Macedonia, Greek newspapers of that time, statements of the School Supervisory Committe as well as the relevant bibliography.
