Învăţământul din comuna Blăjeni în perioada 1848-1918 urmează o traiectorie asemănătoare evoluţiei învăţământului din Zarand. La baza organizării învăţământului confesional românesc stau „Principiile pentru organizarea învăţământului în Transilvania” publicate în anul 1850. Conform acestei legi statul avea drept de inspecţie asupra tuturor instituţiilor şcolare. Pentru apărarea învăţământului confesional ortodox împotriva ingerinţelor statului, episcopul Andrei Şaguna convoca sinodul Bisericii ortodoxe, la 12 martie 1850, la care participă 24 de clerici şi 12 mireni care a stabilit căile de urmat ale şcolii confesionale ortodoxe din Transilvania.
During 1848-1918, the education of Blăjeni Village follows a similar trajectory of Zarand education. „The principles of the organization of the education in Transilvania” published in 1850 form the basis of the romanian religious education organization. Under this law, the state has the right to inspection all the schools. To defend the orthodox religious education against state interferences, the bishop Andrei Şaguna called the Council of the Orthodox Church, at March 12, 1850. At this council, 24 clerics and 12 laymen participated.
The Council established that „until another ordinance, each dean must be the inspector of schools of his district and from time to time to report to His Grace and His Grace, in turn, to the high Worship Ministry”. The school of Blăjeni Village started hardly because of damages that occurred during the revolution of 1848-1849. At the village schools have taught both qualified teachers and priests that administered the parishes.
Among teachers who have worked here we mention Ioan Ciocan, Solomon Micu, George Bota, Moise Faur, Ioan Micu and Ilie Bunea. Of priests who have worked as teachers we mention Ioan Ciocan and Alexandru Fugătă. We should note that in the period of the transformation of religious schools in municipal and state schools, with Hungarian-language teaching, the Blăjeni Village managed to defend its scoolwho resisted all attempts of maghiarization until 1918.
