- Scope and content:
- Included are circulars and correspondence on the advisability of establishing a “percentage norm” [quota] for pupils “of the Judaic confession” in high schools [gimnazii], and on admitting only Jewish girls whose fathers had (permanent or temporary) Kiev residence rights; on the need to “strictly and rigorously” implement procedures for the admission of Jews to secondary and higher educational institutions; and on entering (on certificates that took the place of residence permits for Jews) information on Jews' estate [soslovie] affiliation and on the location in which they were registered to a given estate-based society; on halting the admission of Jewish girls to the school; and on excusing Jewish pupils from classes on Jewish holidays. The fond also contains statistical data on the number of pupils at the school and their distribution according to religious confession and estate (1870-95).
- Administrative/biographical history:
- This was one of the first women's high schools [gimnazii] in Russia to be under the jurisdiction of the country's Ministry of Education. It was established pursuant to the Statute on Women's High Schools of 26 May 1869; when it was opened 10 January 1870, it consisted for all intents and purposes of two grades (the first and fifth). When it was reorganised from a six- to a seven-grade school in 1880, it was brought into academic conformance with women's high schools established pursuant to the Statute of 24 May 1870. It educated female students of all religious confessions, providing them a secondary education; and graduates of the seventh (pedagogic) course received special training in pedagogy.
