Taghiyev: School

Tağıyev: Məktəb

August 1922. Jerry Thompson, filled with respect, prepares to hear Haji’s story. May 1901. Haji Zeynalabdin Taghiyev works on opening the first school for Muslim girls in Baku, with support from his wife Sona. Cleric Akhund Abu Ziyad opposes the idea, sparking public debate. Reformers — Hasan bey Zardabi, Alimardan bey Topchibashev, Ahmed bey Agaev, and progressive clergy led by Mirza Abuturab — support education. The conflict escalates to attacks on teachers. Haji changes strategy and sends a representative abroad. He returns with approvals from major Islamic centers, confirming girls’ right to education. Victory is Haji’s. In October 1901, the school opens.
