THE SECRETARY TO THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 22, sig. 109-1/25
English Translation
(e) In the general education system (people's and primary schools, higher schools) the implementation work of the school administration is to be reduced and transferred to the school departments. They should not merely report on the measures to be taken and seek the decision of the Ministry of Education in each individual case, but should decide for themselves and really manage the visionaries. The country's previous education policies, which deal with these matters in any case, only without the right to decide, will hardly need to be enlarged, while the Ministry of Education can cause a tangible reduction in its budget, only with this measure will the Ministry become a real ministry, the Central Authority a real medium-sized authority and the Sub-authorities a real sub-authority. 4) This principle does not apply to those types of school which, in a small number of cases, require special professional training, such as is not possible with regard to the visual departments; the teacher training institutions and higher technical schools must remain in the administration of the Ministry of Education. Also in the Reich they are partly in the direct administration of the Ministry of Education, partly they are looked after by the state governments, the Reichsstatters or the Oberpräsident, without the Nittel-instenz (President of the Government) being concerned with its administration. 5. Since the present state is based on legal basis, it may be amended by law. The Ministry of Education is preparing a regulation which gives the Minister of Education the power to simplify the administration of the school system and the administration. 6. The timing of the individual measures must be chosen in such a way that the school administration does not operate in any way in disorder and friction. This requires that different measures should not be carried out at the same time, but that action should be taken one after the other. A new measure may only be taken once the previous measure has been completed.
