It was founded in St. Petersburg in 1906, its charter approved in 1907, on the initiative of members of literacy committees closed by the government for united and coordinated activities of teaching and educational organisations in Russia. The league founded five All-Russian societies: Society for School Education, Society for Assistance to Extra-Curriculum Education, Society of Fine Arts, University Society, and Society for the Education and Upbringing of Special Needs Children. The Teachers' Training Academy was a non-governmental higher education institution established as a part of the Education League in 1907. The league was dissolved after October 1917.
