Poltava V.G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University is a higher educational institution in Ukraine that dates back to 1914. [1] It is the oldest university in Poltava Oblast.
On 1 July 1914, following the Imperial decree, a Teachers' Institute was founded in Poltava. [2] In 1918, the Faculty of History and Philology was opened. In July 1919, the institute was transformed into a pedagogical one. 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.
In 1921–1922, the institute had two faculties: Natural Sciences and Mathematics and History and Philology. In the 1922–1923 academic year, the Faculty of Social Education was created with majors in Industry (Mathematics and Physics), Social Science, and Agriculture. In 1922, 34 teachers and 18 administrative personnel worked at the institute, and 369 students studied there.
On 24 August 1930, the Institute of Social Education was transformed into the Institute of Social Education, and in 1933 into a Pedagogical Institute with the Faculties of Physics and Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Geography, History and Philology, and a Preschool Department. [4] In 1936, the Poltava Teacher's Institute was established at the institute with the Faculties of Language and Literature, and Physics and Mathematics. Before the start of the World War II, the institute had 15 departments with about a hundred teachers, and 1,500 full-time and 1,400 part-time students.
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. In the first months of the German occupation, a children's agricultural research station was still working at the institute, but in the fall of 1942, after the establishment of the Poltava Gebit, only technical workers were left in the institute. [3]
On October 21, 1943, the Poltava Pedagogical and Poltava Teachers' Institutes resumed work. As of October 1944, 397 students studied there. In 1951 the teachers' institute was closed, but training in it at the hospital continued until 1954.
In December 1949, the Poltava State Pedagogical Institute was named after Volodymyr Korolenko. [5] On 9 December 1999, following the Resolution No. 448 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine the Poltava State Pedagogical Institute was transformed into the Poltava State Pedagogical University. On November 25, 2009, Poltava State Pedagogical University was granted the status of national by the decree of the President of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko. [5]
