Summary/Abstract: Over the area of Senj Podgorje public education in the past was quite well developed, and so in almost all towns and settlements of local authority with the help of the competent political and educational institutions they first of all opened four-grade, then six-grade, and eight-grade elementary schools. Their educational activity depended mostly on the material and spatial possibilities, but later also on the number of attendees in individual settlements. The time from the opening to their final closure in some places was not long. About all of that will be briefly presented all the schools from their opening to their final cessation of work with all the relevant data to which I arrived at in the modest school documentation. I have written and published more thoroughly and in more detail about the public schools in a book entitled Školstvo senjskog Podgorja (Schooling of Senj Podgorje) published by Matica Hrvatska Senj, in 2008. They are more expertly and scientifically presented with all the details, schools, teachers and students in the 13, 17, 20, 21 and 22 issues of the Senj Zbornik. In additional research on this subject in preparation for a scientific meeting about Podgorje there is less of their data in this paper because all of Podgorje schools were thoroughly analysed previously.
