Деветнадесетомайският режим и организирането на българското учителство. Първи конгрес на Просветния съюз (10–12 януари 1935 година)
The 19 May Regime and the Organisation of the Bulgarian Teaching Profession: The First Congress of the Educational Union (10–12 January 1935)

Summary/Abstract: This article examines how, after the coup of 19 May 1934, the government of Kimon Georgiev established control over the Bulgarian teaching profession. Educational reforms were introduced through decree-laws that centralised the administration of education and placed teachers under strict supervision. The teachers’ organisations that had existed prior to the coup were dissolved and, under the direction of the new educational authorities, a so-called Educational Union was created in their place, intended to unite educational and cultural workers across the country. The article focuses on the Union’s First Congress (10–12 January 1935), where its programme, statutes, and internal regulations were adopted and its ideological profile was defined in line with the aims of the authoritarian regime.
