The article analyses the role of ministries and departments in the development of
education of the Russian Empire in the first half of the 19th century. The materials of the Upper Volga provinces (Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Tver) show that the Ministry of Education controlled schools mostly located in cities and aimed at education of the nobility, merchants and burghers, and the Holy Synod was in charge of training persons from the clerical category. The leading role of the Russian Orthodox Church in establishing schools for peasants is emphasised. Its experience was adopted in the 1830–1850s by the Specific Department, Ministry of State Property, Ministry of Home Affairs and War Ministry in establishment of specialised departmental primary schools.
