Vývoj školství ve Slezsku a otázka „slezské identity“
The development of education in Silesia and the question of "Silesian identity"

Summary/Abstract: The beginnings of higher education Slezamů can be dated back to the 13th century, when they traveled for education at the Studium Generale in Paris or Italian universities. After the founding of university in Prague in 1348, their interest turned to Bohemia but the large part of them left the capital of Bohemia in the early 15th century after the publication of the Decree of Kuthoná Hora. Efforts on the establishment of a separate university in Si¬lesia bind to the city of Wroclaw with the government of the Czech and Hungarian King Vladislaus II. Jagiello, but have never been implemented. After the wars of the Austrian Succession, the Maria Theresia´s efforts to promote Czech schools in the ethnically mixed area of Silesia ran into resistance from the German population. This resistence also was con¬cerned with the opening of Czech secondary schools – grammar schools, as well as dis¬cussions on the establishment of a second university in Moravia and Silesia. The first high schools in the Silesian region didn´t begun to emerge until after the second World War in Ostrava. "Classical" university here, however, could be built up first after the Velvet Revolution in November 1989.
