Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present the mechanism of the integration of the “old” teaching staff, i.e. the teachers who gained their professional afϐirmation in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and in the ϐirst years after the Second World War. Its starting point is the wider context in which the school was established as a state institution in the period of the formation of national states, i.e. the modern Serbian state. A signiϐicant part of the paper will deal with the attitude of the new communist government towards the teachers who obtained their degree in occupied Serbia and the teachers who got “negative characteristics” after the war, which was directly related to their “behavior” during the war and connection with certain collaborationist military formations or movements.
