English Translation

&V - 14 - The school system as a sales market for the book trade. The basis for the volume of school books is the number of pupils in the different school classes. It is not easy to be clear about the figures given in the statistics. A particular difficulty is the imprecise separation of the pupils according to their nationality. As in all other areas, statistics do not know any difference between the Czechs and Slovaks, so you can't get a real picture of the relationship between the states. As with the national composition of the total population, the Czechs and Slovaks make up about two thirds of the overall population in the number of pupils in all schools, including universities. However, it is not possible to see whether the proportion of Slovaks here is perhaps higher than that of the population. This conclusion is obvious, since in the old Kronlđden, which are mostly inhabited by Czechs, the birth surplus is much lower than in Slovakia. Perhaps this could also explain that the number of German pupils is mostly below their population.
