The first known information on the spreading of literacy to the lower strata of society dates to the late 16th century and speaks of a chaplain called Ivan Dragi\u0161i\u0107 who taught poor children how to read and write.<\/p>\n\n
The first secular schools in Vis and Komi\u017ea were founded in 1828 during Austrian rule, and they were one-year schools for male children only. \n \nDuring the 19th century, the first schools for girls were also opened.<\/p>\n\n
Although the schools operated in accordance with curricula prescribed by the state authorities for the education of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Vienna, lessons were held in Croatian and by local teachers.<\/p>\n\n
Lessons were held in rented rooms located in private homes. \n \nThe school building was built in 1901 in a Neoclassical building style and was constructed by the local builder Marinkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5929,"template":"","istrazite-kategorija":[155],"class_list":["post-6771","istrazite","type-istrazite","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","istrazite-kategorija-famous-houses-in-the-town-of-vis"],"yoast_head":"\n
