Abstract

The article is dedicated to the 120-years-old history of the Yamashurma secondary school. The paper discusses the opening of the Russian-Tatar school in the village of Yamashurma, Kazan Uyezd, at the outset of the 20th century, the situation at the school during the war years, the educational system in the Soviet times, the stages of school curriculum, and overall the life and development of the educational institution. The study higlights the role of mullah F. Khamzin in the opening of the school, the work of G. Kulakhmetov, a graduate of the Kazan Tatar Teachers School, who taught here in 1903–1908, and also “teacher Gabdulla” who held the position of the school headmaster in 1911–1932. The study is based on the documents from the State Archive of the Republic of Tatarstan and the book by R.A. Shakirzyanov, Candidate of Technical Sciences, “Yamashurma School is a spring of enlightenment”.
