The fight against illiteracy expanded in the region then, there was a lack of teachers in schools, so teacher training courses graduates worked not only on the primary level, but often became the teachers of all high school subjects, they also did a large community and educational work among the population. In 1925 Teacher Training Courses were reorganized into Zinovyevsk Pedagogical College, which continued to train teachers for primary schools. There was a lack of money, equipment, studies. In 1927 the Pedagogical College obtained a building of the former Girls’ High School, which became home for many generations of graduates of our university. The region constantly lacked senior forms teachers of seven years study schools. The reorganization of the educational system, which began in 1929, led to the formation of the first departments within the Pedagogical College, which marked the beginning of its transformation into a social education institute with a three-year term of study. On 1 October 1930, USSR Council of People's Commissars adopted a formal resolution on the opening of the National Education Institute, which consisted of four departments: Engineering and Mathematics, Agro-Biology, History and Economics, and Linguistics and literature. There were created five chairs: Mathematics, Biology, History, Pedagogy, the Ukrainian Language and Literature. The Institute employed 26 teachers. Over 300 students studied there.
