Description

The article presents a brief overview of the scope of German minority education between the two world wars in the Črmošnjice-Poljanska valley, which belonged to the Novo Mesto school district. Archival sources provide us with a more detailed insight into the dynamics of the use of the language of instruction in minority schools, where the majority population was constituted by the Gottscheers with their dialect. New legal restrictions on the use of the German language of instruction triggered numerous rebellions by both students and their parents. Protests in Podstenice, Laze, Štale, Poljane, and Smuka schools were among the most prominent.

      • Prispevek prikazuje kratek pregled razsežnosti nemškega manjšinskega šolstva v Črmošnjiško-Poljanski dolini med obema vojnama, ki je sodil v novomeški šolski okraj. Arhivski viri nam nudijo podrobnejši vpogled v dinamiko rabe učnega jezika na manjšinskih šolah, kjer so večinsko prebivalstvo predstavljali Kočevarji s svojim dialektom. Nove zakonske zaostritve pri rabi nemškega učnega jezika so sprožale številne upore tako učencev kot tudi njihovih staršev. Med odmevnejšimi so bili protesti v šolah Podstenice, Laze, Štale, Poljane in Smuka.
