'''Teodor Janković Mirijevski''' (Russian: Fedor Ivanovich Iankovich de Mirievo, also F. I. Mirievskii), born 1741 (according to some data, c. 1740) in [[Sremska Kamenica]]; died May 22 1814, in [[St. Petersburg]], was a Russian and Serbian pedagogue; follower of [[John Amos Comenius]] (1592-1670). He was a member of both the Russian Academy (1783) and the Serbian Learned Society.
Teodor Janković Mirijevski was a cameralism student at the University of Vienna, where he also studied law. In 1773 he became director of public schools in [[Timis County]] in the [[Banat]], an area inhabited by Slavs (mainly Serbs) as well as Rumanians. During the [[Josephinium era]] when the government started to view education as political concern instead of leaving it to the Church and the individual municipalities. Thus, in 1774 the "School Edict for all German Regular, Main and Trivial Schools in all Imperial and Royal Dominions" [Allgemeine Schulordnung für die deutschen Normal-, Haupt- und Trivialschulen in sämtlichen k.k. Erblanden] was passed. The credit for this edict mainly goes to the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa who wanted to fight illiteracy. Teodor Jankovic Mirijevski headed the implementation in Timis County of the Austrian school edict of 1774 as applied to the traditions of the Slavic population. He also prepared a special pedagogical handbook for teachers.
In 1782, Teodor Janković Mirijevski moved to [[Imperial Russia]] at the invitation of [[Catherine the Great]]. While working with the Commission for Founding Public Schools, he drew up a general plan for a school system that was adopted in the Statute for Public Schools of 1786. In accordance with the statute, small public schools and central public schools were established. Mirijevski organized a teacher-training program for these schools at the St. Petersburg Central Public School, which had been opened on his initiative; he was director of the St. Petersburg Central Public from 1783 to 1785. Mirijevski met many Serbian Russian intellectuals then living in Russia, including [[Vasyl Karazin]], [[Semyon Zorich]], and others.
Together with Russian scholars and pedagogues, Mirijevski wrote the Guide for Teachers of the First and Second Grades of Public Schools in the Russian Empire (1783). He wrote a number of textbooks, including Primer (1782), Writing Samples and a Guide to Penmanship (1782), Rules for Pupils (1782), and An Arithmetic Handbook (no later than 1784). He published a considerably enlarged edition of the Comparative Dictionary of All Languages and Dialects, Arranged in Alphabetical Order (parts 1–4, 1790–91), originally compiled by [[Peter Simon Pallas]] and published from 1787 to 1789. From 1802 to 1804, Janković Mirijevski was a member of the Commission for Schools of the Ministry of Public Education, known as the Central School Board from 1803.
