Perm State Humanitarian Pedagogical University (Russian: Пермский государственный гуманитарно-педагогический университет) is a public university located in Perm, Russia. In 1916, it was decided to open a branch of the Imperial Petrograd University in Perm, which a year later became the independent Perm State University. The newly built building of the Provincial Zemstvo Office on Sibirskaya Street was given to the needs of the university. On October 2, 1919 the Institute of public education (INE) was created in Perm. On September 9, 1921 by resolution of the planning committee of the Main Department of Education the Perm Institute of Public Education was transformed into a teacher training institute, which is considered to be the date of its birth. Initially it had three departments: pre-school education, pedagogical and school-instructional. However, in 1922 the institute ceased to exist as an independent educational institution. In July, 1922 the teachers and students of the institute were united with the Perm state university; together with the faculty of social sciences and shortened physical and mathematical faculty they formed the Pedagogical department. On the 15th of October 1930 the Pedagogical department was reorganized into an independent educational institution - Perm Industrial and Pedagogical Institute, by the order of Narkompros (People's Commissariat for Education). At the time of its establishment the Institute had 9 departments. From October 15, 1930 to 1940 it had trained 4000 teachers. In the post-war years, new faculties were opened at the institute, including foreign languages. In the 1950s, a new academic building on Pushkin Street was built, and later two more buildings were added. by the 1970s, the institute had become one of the leading pedagogical universities in the country. In 1994, the status of the university was changed: Perm State Pedagogical Institute was renamed into Perm State Pedagogical University (PSPU) by Order No. 290 of the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation of July 27, 1994. In 2012, in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education and Science on May 25, 2012, the Perm State Pedagogical University was renamed into Perm State University for Humanities and Pedagogy (PGPU).
