In the period from the end of XVIII to the beginning of XX centuries the solution to problems of national education lagged behind society request. The situation in the province was especially hard. The expansion of the school network there coexisted with the permanent shortage of educational institutions, and only to a small extent it was accompanied by growth in the number students in local schools. Sporadic measures to overcome the isolation of teachers did not solve most of his problems. The growing market created additional difficulties for teachers.
