Emperor Nicholas II Romanov's Silver Jubilee Medal for the 25th Anniversary of the Educational Reform 1884 1909

Imperial Russia: Silver Medal for the 25th Anni-
versary of the Educational Reform, 1884 - 1909.
With the portraits of Emperor Alexander III and 
Nicholas II.
The term "Educational Reform" describes the 
laws implemented by Emperor Alexander III 
towards the expansion of the local parish schools 
(run by the Russian Orthodox Church), the 
limitations prohibiting lower class students to 
attend the grammar schools, the new university 
statutes, abolishing the autonomy of the univer-
sities and policies of "Russification", imposing 
the Russian language on all inhabitants of the 
Empire, regardless of their nationality.
The medal was instituted by Emperor Nicholas II 
Romanov and is rare as it was awarded only to 
members of the educational system with 
administrative tasks related to the implementation 
of the reforms.
The medal is also known as "Merit Medal for 
Teachers"
