In 1956 the renovated building entered into exploitation. In June 1945 a Pedagogical Institute was founded on the basis of Batumi Teachers’ Institute that was followed by reconstruction process and improvement of the facilities and equipment. According to the statistics 600 school leavers submitted applications to the Institute in the first year 219 applicants were admitted to the Institute. In July 1935 the preparatory courses were created that particularly fostered the attraction of high school applicants from Adjara highlands. It is owing to them as well that the newly established higher institution soon gained the reputation – a system of teaching and research activities was formed and the preparation of local academic staff took its beginnings – by 1943 there were 5 candidates of sciences at the Institute already. The following outstanding representatives of the Georgian academia conducted fruitful activities within the walls of the Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University (that time Teachers’ Institute): Giorgi Akhvlediani, Giorgi Tsereteli, Iase Tsintsadze, Sargis Kakabadze, Simon Kaukhchishvili, Giorgi Tavzishvili, Razhden Khutsishvili, Dimitri Gedevanishvili, Giorgi Javakhishvili, Vukol Beridze, Shota Dzidziguri and others. A significant assistance was rendered to the Institute in providing the scientific personnel by other higher educational institutions of Georgia, first and foremost – Tbilisi State University. The first director of the Teachers’ Institute was Khusein Nakaidze. In 1938 the Institute was named after Shota Rustaveli. To this the faculty of Physical Education was added in 1936 and a faculty of Russian Language and Literature – in 1938.
In the building of the Boys’ Gymnasium in 1935 a 2-year Teacher’s Institute was opened with 4 faculties: Georgian Language and Literature, Physics-Mathematics, History and Natural Sciences-Geography. It used to prepare the first stage school teachers. Later, by 1923, a Pedagogical Institute was founded in the building of former Women’s Gymnasium (present Public School №2) which afterwards turned into a Pedagogical College. On 26 September, 1900 it became possible to open a Women’s Gymnasium as well. The Boys’ Gymnasium started functioning in July, 1897. The first floor of the building allocated a gym while the second floor contained the church, assembly hall, eight classrooms, art classroom, physics study-room, laboratory and a library. The project was designed by a military engineer Sedelnikov. On 26-27 June, 1893 the Municipality of the city granted 2 623, 95 sq/m area of land for the Boys’ Gymnasium at the seaside.
In 1893 the issue was raised to open a Boys’ Gymnasium in Batumi. The establishment and development of the educational system in Adjara was a long-time endeavor of the Georgian community. Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University in Georgia is an important educational, scientific and cultural center of our country.
