- 3 - Education requires a very different intensity of use than elsewhere. In Brno-Stadt there is help - by having a primary school with four classes provided by three teachers, the resources in Brno-Land are worrying, where the reliable sightings in the language island are exposed in favour of schools in the scattered German territory, for example at the obvious elementary school in Mödritz, instead of 5 teachers 3 teachers. A particularly burning problem is the question of education for the main schools (civil schools), which are supposed to be education and training schools after the Führer's villa. As teachers, only so-called specialist teachers are to be employed there, i.e. teachers who have enjoyed a special training course in addition to general teacher training. In Brno-Stadt, the teachers in the main schools are only half of the teachers, in Brno-Land, only the directors of the main school are teachers, all other teachers have no pre-school education, sometimes even young teachers are used without pre-primary education. Despite the lack of suitable teachers, German secondary schools in some smaller cities would only have to be set up in order to take up competition with the Czech Hauptschulen at least externally. The efforts to train teachers in special courses will have a practical effect only in the next few years. The monthly training for young teachers set up by the district school inspectors is undoubtedly a very welcome measure. It seems to me questionable whether the fragmentation of the German teachers' forces by the grin - of dwarf owls in the countryside - is at present to be attributed, it is very understandable that the local German pactors, in a scattered German area, are seeking the burial of a German school and for a healthy German community life in some place one means: German school is an important component, yet it will be difficult at present for the German elementary school in Bratschitz and Kanitz to provide a German teacher with 5 children each. Over the past few years, several attempts have been made to get teachers from neighbouring Gauen, Sudetengau and Niederdonau to enter the Protectorate. There are no doubt many suitable forces there with Czech speaking skills. However, since there is also a lack of teachers in these Gauen the efforts have not been very successful. From the Gau Nieder donau teachers could not be won, while from the Sudetengeu 26 teachers are currently assigned to Brno-Stadt. But these are almost without exception Rülckwanderer, i.e. teachers who had previously worked in Brno, or teachers who married to Brinn. In addition, in recent years, it has been possible to gain from former teachers to enter school for the duration of the war.The accommodation of the obvious schools is always good, especially in places where these schools are located.
