Institutions for Children with Disabilities
School for the Deaf and Dumb
This school, located in Sofia, was established some years ago thanks to the initiative of a foreign philanthropist. The Bulgarian Ministry of Public Instruction supports this humanitarian effort by providing an annual grant. In 1904–1905, this grant was 10,000 francs. The school helps children who are deaf or mute to learn essential skills and integrate into society.
Institute for the Blind
The Institute for the Blind was opened towards the end of 1905. Its organization was designed by a specialist sent by the Ministry to study similar institutions in Vienna and St. Petersburg. These specialized schools for disabled children improve access to education for all, and the combined budget grants for both institutions in 1904 amounted to nearly 100,000 francs.
Diverse Educational Institutions
Educational Museum
The Educational Museum was recently created by the Ministry of Public Instruction. Its main goals are:
To collect and preserve materials related to the history of education in Bulgaria. This includes regulations, laws, manuals, curricula, and teaching guides.
To familiarize teachers with pedagogical literature from Bulgaria and other countries.
To provide educational authorities and teachers with examples of materials and tools used in Bulgaria and abroad, helping them choose the best resources for schools.
The museum serves as a center for research and professional development in education, supporting both teachers and policymakers in improving school instruction.
Bulgaria’s educational system in the early 20th century was expanding beyond traditional schools. With special schools for disabled children, a well-structured teaching staff, and new initiatives like the Educational Museum, the country was working to provide inclusive, high-quality education for all students.
