In Serbia, the first public normal school was founded in [[Sombor]], [[Vojvodina]], by [[Avram Mrazović]] in 1778 to train teachers.<ref name="ravnoplov.rs">{{cite web|url=https://www.ravnoplov.rs/240-godina-obrazovanja-srpskih-ucitelja-u-somboru/ |title=240 GODINA OBRAZOVANJA SRPSKIH UČITELJA U SOMBORU – Ravnoplov |publisher=Ravnoplov.rs |access-date=2019-08-21}}</ref>
In 2018, the Faculty of Education in Sombor celebrated 240 years since the founding of the first school for the education of Serbian teachers called ''Norma''. It was a teacher training college at the beginning called ''Norma college'' before it was closed in 1811, and another school was opened in its place in 1812 in [[Szentendre]] under the [[Declaratory Rescript of the Illyrian Nation]]. The new institution was named ''Regium Pedagogium Nationis Illiricae'' or Royal Pedagogium Of The Illyrian-Serbian Nation (also referred to in Latin as ''Preparandium'' or ''Preparadija'' in Serbian) which eventually was relocated back to Sombor in 1816.<ref name="ravnoplov.rs"/> The Normal school – Teachers College is generally considered the first normal school or ''École normale'' in Sombor. The term "normal" in this case refers to "the goal of the institution to instill and reinforce particular ''norms'' within students". Also, these "''norms'' included historical behavioral norms of the time, as well as norms that reinforced targeted societal values, ideologies and dominant narratives in the form of [[curriculum]]". For the longest time, this was the only academy for teachers' training in Serbian.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uns.ac.rs/index.php/en/sombor/about-sombor |title=University of Novi Sad – About Sombor |publisher=Uns.ac.rs |access-date=2019-08-21}}</ref> The first woman academician of the [[Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts]] [[Isidora Sekulić]], the poet [[Jovan Dučić]], the composers [[Petar Konjović]] and [[Josif Marinković]] are just some of the ''[[alumni]]'' of ''Norma.''<ref name="ravnoplov.rs"/>
