The education policy of the People's Liberal Party government

Abstract

The educational policy of the state in class society is determined by the general guidelines of the political and cultural development of the country. This dependence, as well as the absence of special studies in the historical literature, justifies historiographical interest in the problems of cultural policy - in particular, the educational policy of the Bulgarian bourgeois governments in the first three decades after the Liberation.

The educational policy of the second Stambolovist regime has not been the subject of special study in our historiography. Evaluations of it have been made at various times in the historical-pedagogical, political and memoir literature that appeared before the victory of the socialist revolution. They are distinguished by the demarcation of two periods in the school policy of the People's Liberal Party-until Jan. 3, 1907, and after that date. This distinction is identified with "the policy of minister Shishmanov" and "the policy of minister Apostolov."
