In 1920, the Poltava Pedagogical Institute had three faculties: History and Philology, Physics and Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. There were 25 lecturers. [3]
On 14 April 1921, a Pedagogical Institute was reorganized into the Poltava Institute of Public Education by merging the Poltava Pedagogical Institute and the Poltava Faculty of History and Philology. [4] The first dean of the latter, and later the rector of the educational institution, became the historian and archivist Ivan Rybakov. His successor was Myroslav Gavryliv.

During the Nazi occupation of Poltava in 1941–1943, the Pedagogical Institute, like other higher education institutions in the city, did not function. Its premises were turned into barracks for German soldiers, but part of the university's administration remained. [3] In January 1942, there were 26 people in the institute's staff.
