Written information on the existence of the educational activity in Svalenik dates back to the middle of the nineteenth century. In the statistics from the first years after the Liberation, required by the school inspector in Rousse, it is reported that the first school in Svalenik was built in 1858.
To the built in 1869. a new church has built a large school room. From the annual statistics for schools, we learn that in the autumn of 1882, the school in Svalenik starts its regular classes.

In 1889-1890. 49 children are trained in the school year. Their preparation takes place in a fused class under the guidance of teacher Petar Georgiev Churov. On March 22, 1889. the principal teacher Ivan Drumev organized the first pedagogical conference in Svalenik. Master G. Balkanski of Svalenik takes a test (open) lesson on calculus in the first unit. The conference was the occasion for this initiative to become a tradition of exchange of experience. For this purpose, the tasks of the school board were finally regulated in the end of the 1990s.

The expansion of the educational activity in Svalenik places the urgent task of building a new building. Since 1907 the school board opens a subscription to raise funds for building a modern school building. The need for a school building in Svalenik is further enhanced by the opening of an evening school in 1907.
On April 1, 1922 Milko M.Mamulkov was elected chairman of the school board. With a lot of effort he managed to organize the supply of the building with materials. From Protocol No. 10 of April 28, 1923, we learn that a final decision has been taken to start building a 10-room building. For collecting additional funds for construction, the school fields are being auctioned for the treatment of the school fields in the Pazliva Poliana locality and in the area of ​​Kuklata. For the same purpose, the municipality provides for the school 1200 decares of forests.

On 11.12.1928. in a solemn setting, the new building, where today's classrooms are held, was opened. The problem with the bulk of the material base, which continues to be enriched, is forever solved. The whole population is obliged to transport a certain number of building material for the stone fence to build the yard, its terraces and so on.

In the same year conditions were created for the transformation of the school into a basic one. The opening of the school building began a new period in the education of the village. Under the guidance of Progressive Teachers, a school dining room was opened. In the period 1943-1944. there are 72 students free of charge. From 1947 for a director at "St. Kliment Ohridski "was appointed Mihail Milev, who held this post until his retirement in 1980. In the 1950s. a stone fence rises, each family providing several stone blocks. Later teachers and students terraced and leveled the terrain, built a geographic playground, a pupil of pupils.

In 1951, the children of the mosque school moved to two ground-floor rooms at the primary school. In 1959, the Law for a Closer Connection of the School with Life is published in our country, according to its requirements in Svalenik is introduced the eighth grade. The merged classes in Svalenik and Tserovets are closed. There is a need for training to be done in two shifts. Gradually, there are workshops for labor education, classrooms, dormitory for the students from the village of Tserovets, who are trained in Svalenik. The primary school in Svalenik became one of the first in the county to carry out semi-in-service training. At the national conference on the problems of mid-term training in Plovdiv in 1969, Rousse County is represented by the school in the village. This is a well-deserved recognition for the achievements of primary school.

These achievements are part of the solved problems related to the preparation and realization of the young generation in conditions close to production.
The broad educational background, the formation of lasting skills and habits for non-standard thinking are the tasks that the experienced teachers' team in Svalenik decides today.
