Summary/Abstract: To this day there have been no studies or references mentioned in the entire Romanian contemporary historiography that looks at Bucovina’s history with regard to the Polish education system that was in place in the former Austrian province. The beginnings of the Polish education system in Bucovina can be traced back to the 19th century, when on May 22, 1812 the first official Polish catholic school opened at Cacica. Then, on December 16, 1808 the Cernăuţi Gymnasium opened its doors to the public and we can determine that in the 19th century a high number of Polish students attended the gymnasium. In regard to the faculty’s nationality at the gymnasium during the first half of the 19th century, Polish professors presented the highest numbers. As such, between 1808 and 1850 Polish professors were numbered at 40.5%, with Germans professors at 27%, Ukrainian professors at 13.5%, Romanian professors at 10.8%, and Czech professors at 8.3%.
