Abstract:

Since Poland regained independence, the issue of educating children and youth was the subject of many discussions and disputes both in Jewish circles and between representatives of the Jewish ethnic minority and the Polish authorities. As a result, in the Second Polish Republic, apart from state schools attended by Jewish children and youth, there were several school systems, both secular and religious, whose creators tried to meet the expectations of the state and society. Apart from religious schools, Jews had a highly developed network of secular schools coordinated by particular political parties and were the only minority in Poland to organise equivalents of academic institutes. The non-religious academic schools and universities attracted Jewish youth, although in the second half of the 1930s, acquiring university education was more difficult for Jews than others. Albeit the 1932 education reform did not entail the liquidation of Jewish schools, it changed the conditions of their functioning.
