Urgency of the research. Nowadays, under the conditions of the key educational reform implementation - creation of the New Ukrainian School - the appeal to the historical and pedagogical experience of the first decade of state independence of Ukraine is natural.

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The historiographic analysis showed that various aspects of elementary education development in the first decade of Ukraine's independence were revealed in the works by Ukrainian scholars: L. D. Berezivska, N. M. Bibik, M. S. Vashulenko, J. P. Kodliuk, O. Ya. Savchenko etc. At the same time, the issue of transformations in the elementary school organization did not find proper coverage in the selected chronological limits.
