Based on archival sources and oral testimonies from residents of Sapna, this paper presents the construction, functioning, and historical fate of the mekteb-i ibtidaija building in Sapna. The author discusses the role of the reformed mekteb in the social development of the local community, using the present-day municipality of Sapna as a case study. The historical trajectory of the mekteb-i ibtidaija provides insight into the condition of the Bosniak population during turbulent periods marked by efforts to preserve Bosniak identity in the region. The study also highlights the multifunctional role of Islamic religious and educational institutions in Sapna.
