Elementary school in Ub





The first data, about the existence of elementary school in Ub, which is available, for now, comes from 1820. The first teacher was Grigorije Jovanovic, most probably from the village Bogovadja. We can indirectly ascertain from the request sent to the Prince Milos Obrenovic. Jovanovic was working in the elementary school in Ub until 1824, when Dimitrije Ilic came. So, the elementary school in Ub has existed for 180 years.[1] The unique jubilee, that we do not have so often in Serbia. Many generations of teachers have played immeasurable part in educating children in Ub and Tamnava area. The photograph has had special value and has testified how our city looked like, before sixty years. The dominating landscape most certainly are meadows, channels, empty spaces,the  mill, sawmill, and the right side of  the Main street.
