The article represents a presentation of results which have been obtained through repeated and expanded earlier research on the development of school system in the Srebrenik Municipality in North-East Bosnia (from 2001), and which was conducted in the last three years. In this research the basic historical-pedagogical methodology has been employed. Additionally, microhistory as a method has been used. Accordingly, the analysis of the historical and pedagogical documentation related to the issues of the research and also the method of qualitative field research with the intensive in-depth interview have been used. In this manner, beside the data related to historical facts, some data from life history, related to the subject of research and persons who have been participants in these processes, were collected. Thereby, the main determinants of the development of the school system and education in the Srebrenik Area in North-East Bosnia have been shown through various historical periods (the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Kingdom of Yugoslavia and former Yugoslavia).
