24 -3 higher education from this point on would be only one-speed from now on with the following class maximums: 1 and 2 grade 40, 3.4 and 5 grade 35, 6, 7 and 8 grade 25 pupils. Each Czech higher school of the Protectorate would from that date only include a total of a maximum of 260 pupils. Based on the current number of 152 Czech higher schools of the Protectorate, this would mean a total number of all Czech higher pupils from 152 x 260 - 39 520 ° pupils. According to the report of the 'Mi-, the nisteriums for education and folk culture/the Czech higher school of the protectorate, including the 8th grade ahl/on 1.Nov. At the beginning of the school year 1945/46, 45 268 pupils would therefore attend less the Czech higher schools than on 1 November 1940. However, the decrease would be several thousand more pupils in effect, since in addition to the implementation of the numerus clausus, a number of Czech higher education schools would be dissolved or dissolved from the start of the year 194l/42. In addition, it is not possible to reduce the amount of waste to a certain extent. V. The maximum numbers 40, 35 and 25 were chosen because they are the ideal numbers for the German higher schools in "education and instruction", but with the clear difference that the German upper schools may have as much parallel classes as are necessary, while the Czech schools would no longer have parallel classes after 4 years. The implementation of the Numerus clauses at the Czech higher schools would be planned to repopulate over the coming years on the path of two-wheeledness. This path of repopulation deserves priority over the mass admission of Czech-speaking children to German higher schools, because this would severely reduce the performance of German high schools as a result of the linguistic difficulties. - 4 -
