Abstract

The article focuses on covering the functioning of German schools in the interwar Galicia, which developed in less favorable conditions than those in other Polish territories. This was due to the fact that the Polish authorities pursued different national, linguistic, and educational policies towards Germans in various areas inhabited by this minority. As a result, the German population of Galicia underwent assimilation, while German-language schools of the land were partially converted to utraquist schools by the government. Attempting to resist such policy, German public, political, and religious activists focused their activities on the development of private German-language educational establishments of various kinds, having achieved about 60 % of German children in the areas receiving primary education in their native language.
