The first Partisan schools in Moslavina began operating in the second half of 1942. They were located in Moslavačka Gora, where the liberated territory and military units of the Moslavina Detachment existed. The local NOO also operated in that area, organizing the work of the first schools in the towns of Popovac and Dišnik. At that time, apart from Moslavina, there were no Partisan schools in north-western Croatia. In the following year, 1943, the free territory in Moslavina increased and so did the number of schools. At the end of 1943, there were about 60 schools in Moslavina, 26 in Garešnica, 23 in Čazma and 18 in Kutina. At the end of 1943, the Partisans liberated Čazma, where the highest authorities of the NOP in Moslavina are located. In 1943, the Department of Education of ZAVNOH adopted the curricula and programs according to which teachers administered classes. Teachers' conferences are held to discuss work in schools and to improve work with students and teaching in general, especially because the schools lacked textbooks, manuals, teaching aids, notebooks, pencils, erasers, chalk and other things. Moslavina then, administratively according to the division of the NOP, belonged to the Zagreb region. On 15 May 1944, the Regional NOO was formed, which included the Education Department, whose members supervised the work of district, local and municipal educational authorities. In addition to the aforementioned supervision, members of the Education Department provided methodical and professional assistance to teachers. In the spring of 1944 there were 53 elementary schools with 48 teachers in Moslavina. Those schools, with minor interruptions, worked for the whole year. At the end of 1944, there were 71 elementary schools in the liberated part of Moslavina, with 103 teachers, and of that number, 83 were professionals. In the absence of primers, teachers used the magazine Pionir. In the Moslavina district, at the end of 1944, there were 4,546 compulsory schoolchildren and 2,634 school-goers (57.64%). In January, before the evacuation, there were 17 primary schools with 1,591 compulsory schools and 739 students (46.44%) in Čazma district, and 31 schools in Garešnica district. There were 23 elementary schools in the districts of Kutina and Dubrava. In the liberated territory of Moslavina there were secondary schools, grammar schools and vocational schools. There were 304 students in those schools taught by 18 teachers. At the end of January 1944, there was a grammar school in Dišnik. The conditions in which that school operated were very difficult. The school was without school supplies, manuals and textbooks, and the students were without the necessary clothes and shoes. In addition to the aforementioned activities, cultural centres where youth and pioneers performed have been operating since the end of 1943 in the liberated territory. In January 1945, students and teachers evacuated via Hungary to Vojvodina, where they continued their education. They had to leave Moslavina because of the great danger that threatened them from the German-Ustasha army that was advancing from the east to the west. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
