In the autumn of 1992 54 elementary schools with the special program for refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina opened their doors in the Republic of Slovenia. 9.000 refugee children were included in this programme, classes were taught by 450 teachers, also refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina. These elementary schools were either in refugee centres, in Slovenian elementary schools (in the afternoon) or other improvised rooms. Beside the improvisation there were also problems with teachers. Half of them did not have adequate pedagogical education. Before the war they were employed as economists, engineers, doctors, officials, students, sometimes even high school students. The paper represents the issue of the schooling of Bosnian refugee children and corelated archival records.
