The insurmountable desire of the scientific and educational intelligentsia to overcome the excessive socio-cultural oppression of the operating apparatus, through the development of a network of educational measures throughout the territory, rooted in the phenomenal traditions of enlightenment, which included the transboundary transfer of what was wise and what was good to the fertile educational ground of different countries of the world.
