Junker Schools
Junker schools in Russia were introduced in 1864. They were usually located next to district headquarters in a given region. Junker schools prepared low-rank military for officer rank. In 1900, the Russian government established junker infantry schools in Moscow and Kiev, in 1902 - junker cavalry school in Yelizavetgrad. In 1901, the government transformed all former district junker schools into 7 infantry schools (St.Petersburg, Vilna, Tiflis, Odessa, Kazan, Chuguyev, Irkutsk), 1 cavalry school (Tver) and 3 Cossack schools (Novocherkassk, Stavropol, Irkutsk).
Every junker school had a 3-year program. In order to enroll into a junker school, a student had to attend a gymnasium or cadet corps for 6 years or pass a corresponding exam.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
