Abstract
In the few schools that existed in Bessarabia during the first half of the 19th century the teaching of Romanian language was at a low level due to the lack of teachers and textbooks, so the Bessarabian nobility repeatedly petitioned the tsarist authorities to improve the teaching of this subject. The response of the St. Petersburg authorities in some degree followed, but later, on February 9, 1866, the teaching of Romanian language was excluded from the curriculum of the Chisinau Regional High School – the latter institution, where at that time teaching the subject was still going on. Thus, the Romanian language was finally removed from the education system of Bessarabia.
