Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University is a major center of education, science, and culture in our country, with a centuries-old history.
The establishment and development of the educational system in Adjara was a constant concern of Georgian society. In 1893, the issue of opening a boys' gymnasium in Batumi was raised. On June 26-27, 1895, the city government allocated 2,623.95 sq. sazhens of land near the seashore for the building of the boys' gymnasium. The plan of the gymnasium building was drawn up by military engineer Sedelnikov. The first floor of the school housed a gymnasium, and on the second floor - a church, an assembly hall, eight classrooms, an art class, a physics room, a laboratory and a library. In July 1897, the boys' gymnasium began to function. On September 26, 1900, it became possible to open a women's gymnasium. Later, by 1923, a pedagogical institute was founded in the former building of the women's gymnasium (currently secondary school No. 2), which was later transformed into a pedagogical technical school. It trained first-level school teachers.
