Overview

The Forselius Society (Estonian: Forseliuse Selts, full name Bengt Gottfried Forseliuse Selts) was a learned pedagogical society in Estonia. It was founded in 1989 by educational institutions with histories of at least 300 years; later, institutions with shorter histories also joined. According to its statutes, its aims included training, research into educational and cultural history, valuing the continuity of educational life, valuing teachers' work and popularising the teaching profession, and contributing to Estonian education policy and strategy. The society published the journal Forseliuse Sõnumid and had 71 members: 39 gymnasiums/secondary schools, 28 basic schools, 1 primary school, 2 vocational schools, and 1 educational society. It issued several awards, including the Bengt Gottfried Forselius Medal, the Grand Gold Tassel (Suur Kuldtukat), the Ignatsi Jaak Medal, and the Grand Ignatsi Jaak Medal. In February 2024, the society was deleted from the business register for failing to submit its annual report.
