BAYRAM OGLU, Bayramov Hasan. Educatıon reform ın Azerbaıjan durıng the tsarıst perıod: a paradıgm of prıorıtıes. []. , 17, 81, pp. 467-475.   02--2021. ISSN 1990-8644.

The objective of this article is to analyze the educational reforms in the territory of the Caucasus during the Tsarist rule. The research has a qualitative nature and the analysis of historical documents was used as the main research method. It was found that in general there were disparities in the development of the territories as well as in the acceptance by local residents regarding the Russian forms. In general, the Armenian ethnic group accepted the Russification quite quickly, however in the Muslim towns this process was more complicated. Unquestionably, the educational reforms promoted the development of the territory, which is demonstrated by the number of secular schools and gymnasiums created, which was enhanced in this new educational context. However, as education is more than learning forms and methods for solving problems, the Russification process eventually intensified the contradictions between a pro-Russian elite and a movement defending national identity.
