History

At the beginning of the 20th century, by 1911 there were only 624 primary schools, and the opening of new educational institutions was hampered by a shortage of teaching staff. On May 20, 1915 the decision to open the teacher's seminary in Barnaul with an elementary school was made based on the approval of the state list of income and expenses for 1915.

The Barnaul Teaching Institute was established on September 1, 1933; in 1941 it was renamed into the Pedagogical Institute. In 1935, the first graduates graduated the Barnaul Teaching Institute.
