Summary/Abstract: Development of educational institutions in Bugojno began with the construction of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque and primary religious school (mekteb) in 1693/94. The strong impetus for education and general cultural development of Bugojno was given by Ahmed-aga, son of Husein, Bosnali, who in 1739, along with Sultan Ahmed’s Mosque, also built the muallimhana, which became Madrassah after the Austrian- Hungarian occupation of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Bugojno Madrassah was founded at the end of the 19th century by Halil-bay Kositerovic. He also endowed real estate for the School’s upkeep.
