English Translation
Ya) Radical changes at the elementary schools. This year, German was introduced as an unobligatory subject and two hours a week, starting from the 3rd year. As we already reported, the minimum number of applications was reduced to 12. With the beginning of the school year new conditions are emerging for all our schools and it will largely be up to our teachers to carry out all the measures properly methodically and organizationally, especially with regard to German teaching. If this is a language that is vital for our people, both from the economic and cultural point of view, it must therefore be regarded as a teaching goal for the schools of the people and citizens: to be able to communicate well, for the higher schools the principle: to have a good command of the German language. 21206 t -
