History
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Tobolsk Gubernia was among the most intensively developed primary education areas, in which by 1911 there were only 624 primary schools, and the opening of new educational institutions was hampered by a shortage of teaching staff.
On May 20, 1915 the decision to open the teacher's seminary in Barnaul with an elementary school was made based on the approval of the state list of income and expenses for 1915.
In the “Plan for the compilation of the network of teachers' institutes”, Novonikolayevsk and Barnaul of the Tomsk province were also listed, and within the limits of the “extensive” Tobolsk province. The idea to request the government to open the third teacher's institute in Barnaul was put forward by L. I. Lavrentyev, the trustee of the West Siberian school district.
The Barnaul Teaching Institute was established on September 1, 1933; in 1941 it was renamed into the Pedagogical Institute.
In 1935, the first graduates graduated the Barnaul Teaching Institute: 17 historians, 22 philologists, 30 physicists and mathematicians.
