The Gazakh Teachers Seminary (Azerbaijani: Qazax müəllimlər seminariyası) is a teachers seminary that functioned from 1918 to 1959[1] in the Azerbaijani city of Gazakh.[2][3] It was created on the initiative of the Azerbaijani enlightener Firudin-bek Kocharli[4] and Husein Efendi Gaibov.[5]
History
[edit]In 1895, a graduate of the Transcaucasian Teachers Seminary, and the teacher of the Erivan Gymnasium, Firudin-bek Kocharli, was appointed as teacher at the Transcaucasian Teachers Seminary in Gori, where from 1910[6] he became the head of the Azerbaijani branch.[7]
In early May 1918, the population of the city of Gazakh and the representatives of some rural communities of the Gazakh district filed a petition towards the educational district for the transfer of the Azerbaijani branch of the Transcaucasian Seminary from Gori to the city of Gazakh. The government has resolved this issue positively.[8] In the same year, the Azerbaijani branch of the Transcaucasian Teachers Seminary was relocated to the city of Gazakh.[4] Firudin-bek Kocharli was appointed the director of the Gazakh Teachers Seminary.[8] The teaching staff of the seminary was recruited among the former graduates of the Gori Seminary.[7]
In creating his own teachers seminary in Azerbaijan, Kocharli saw an opportunity to enroll a much larger number of children in education. Considering that time conditions of the transportation development of vehicles, not every family dared to let their son to go to Gori.[9]
Nowadays, the building of the seminary hosts the secondary school No. 4 of the city of Gazakh.
