Summary/Abstract: According to the Statute for the Autonomous Administration of Islamic Religious and Waqf-Mearif Affairs in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1909, the organization of the religious and educational activities on the territory of the district falls to the Waqf-Mearif Board. This decision was confirmed by the Constitutions of the Islamic Community from 1930 and 1936. One of the Board’s activities was carrying out Islamic religious instruction in primary and secondary schools. Between the two wars, on the territory of the Bugojno Committee, there were schools in Donji Vakuf, Bugojno, Gornji Vakuf, Kupres, Dobrosina, Prusac, Cipuljic, Kandija, Odzak and Gracanica, and also the civic school in Bugojno. The Islamic education in the primary and secondary schools, in accordance with the planned curriculum, was taught by the best religious instructors. Up until the Second Religious Education Survey from of 1920 and 1921, Islamic religious instruction in schools was at lowlevel standard. Following the Survey, reforms were carrying out which had an impact on the improvement of the quality of instruction.
