context: Through the efforts of IOPS in the Middle East, a school system of its own was created, which by 1914 consisted of more than 100 schools and two teacher seminaries. The development of the school system in the Middle East was also promoted by the Consul General in Jerusalem, State Councilor Alexei Fedorovich Kruglov. IPPO schools resisted the dissolution of local Orthodox communities in the surrounding mass of heterodox and heterodox populations. They studied mainly children from Orthodox families, including the poorest, because the training was free. The first elementary school was opened already in the year the Society was founded in the village of Mujedil on December 6, 1882, and a little later, 1882-1884, three more elementary schools were opened in Galilee, a male boarding school, which was later transformed into a male teacher’s seminary in Nazareth. For many years, Alexander Gavrilovich Kezma was the head of the network of Galilean educational institutions of IOPS. Schools of the Society experienced competition from Catholic and Protestant educational institutions, as well as opposition from the Jerusalem Patriarchs. Since 1895, new schools were opened mainly in Syria, on the territory of the Antioch Patriarchate. Teachers in schools were secular, and in the early years, some of them were invited from Russia or received education in Russia. Later, two teacher's seminaries were created to train local teachers, a male one in Nazareth and a female one in Beit Jal (see Women's Teacher’s Seminary), where students received full board. The Law of God, Arabic, arithmetic, geography, history and crafts were taught in elementary schools. In addition, Russian was taught in many schools, and the best students continued their education in Russia. The necessary textbooks were compiled and printed on their own, mainly in Arabic. School premises were usually rented, but in some cases they were built.
