Presentation of a school lesson from 1950. Everyone participates and gets to know Bela Krajina in a fun way.
The BRIHTNA GLAVA Primary School in Radovica near Metlika is a tourist attraction. It was created with the desire to show visitors Bela Krajina in a different and fun way. The Brihtna Glava Primary School invites all those who would like to see how classes were taught several decades ago. The 45-minute lesson takes us back in time to the mid-20th century and introduces the cultural and natural heritage of Bela Krajina. Brihtna Glava Primary School is aimed at adults, who humorously reminisce about their childhood years, and children, primary and secondary school pupils of all ages, who learn about how their ancestors were educated in the past by attending a lesson. The school choir consists of: the headmaster Andrej Bajuk, a teacher companion, and the school secretary. The classroom is furnished with old equipment and old school props, and corn is strewn in the corner of the classroom for unruly pupils. The teacher is strict, with the obligatory cane in her hand, which she uses unconditionally to control order and discipline. At the end of the lesson, all pupils receive a certificate and a school snack. There is room for 70 "pupils" in the classroom.

“Brihtna glava” Primary School
In Radovica at Metlika, there is a building of the former primary school, which functioned as an educational establishment by 1976. After longs years, a “proper” school opened its doors here. The conceptual design of Toni Gašperič aroused the interest of the local Andrej Bajuk. With great enthusiasm and interest, he started renovating the room and searching for appropriate objects. This was followed by long-term browsing through the past, collection of old school objects and accessories. A classroom from old times was made, an image from the 1950s. Andrej Bajuk became the headmaster, while a strict comrade teacher was entrusted with teaching. The headmaster Andrej therefore transformed the classroom back into a state it was in the past. By now, it is probably clear that this is a staged scene where the headmaster, the comrade teacher and the school secretary each play their roles; but you, dear pupils, are the most important, sitting with great expectation at a school desk and participating in an hour full of historical and cultural insights of Bela krajina.
