Fiume dualizmus kori oktatásügye és a Magyar Királyi Kiviteli Akadémia. A magyarosítás és a szakoktatás kiépítése
The Royal Hungarian Export Academy and Education in Fiume (Rijeka) in the Age of Dualism. Hungarianisation and Vocational Training

Summary/Abstract: The study explores the role of Fiume’s secondary school of trade and commerce and the higher education Export Academy in the Hungarian educational market in the Age of Dualism, as well as the employability of their students in the Hungarian job market. The history of these two schools shows that Hungarianisation efforts resulted in the deterioration of the quality of education in secondary schools after the turn of the century. This was mainly because the Italian-speaking majority of the student body seriously struggled with Hungarian as the official language of instruction. Since the majority of the students at the Export Academy were Hungarian speakers, they did not have to contend with such difficulties. This also meant further difference in the social composition of the two student bodies: while the secondary school students were Italian Catholics, the Academy’s students were predominantly Hungarian-speaking Jews. The parents of most students in these schools were independent merchants and tradesmen, their children, however, used their acquired knowledge and skills to become civil servants.
