THE HUNGARIAN SCHOOL AND LANGUAGE AS SEEN BY THE TRANSYLVANIAN ROMANIANS IN THE DUALIST PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian school and language as seen by the Transylvanian Romanians in the Dualist period. The present study propounds a manner of grasping Transylvanian Romanians’ attitude towards the Hungarian language and the characteristics that were attributed to the latter. Therefore, the Hungarian’s image in the context of school life (as a member of the school’s staff and as a classmate) is of interest, as are also the general characterization of the Hungarian education system and the reactions provoked by the Hungarian governments’ education policy. The first part of the study outlines the main measures taken by the Hungarian governments in the field of education during the Dualist period. In the second part of the study, the traits attributed to the Hungarian and his language are presented, in the ways that they appeared in evocations of school life in memoirs and literature, but also in the articles concerning educational issues which appeared in the epoch’s newspapers.
