Pioneering work of teachers in the school system for adults in Opole Silesia in the post-war period of 1945–1950

Summary/Abstract: After the end of World War II, the school system designed for the adult was organized from scratch on a mass scale in Opole Region. Literacy as well as re-Polonisation courses were organised, elementary and secondary schools were established. The main role in them was to be played by teachers. The majority of those who were arriving in the Region beginning with 1945 held pedagogical education at the level of teachers’ seminary. Some had completed higher education study courses or even held the PhD degree. However, quite a number of them had no relevant qualifications and therefore encountered many didactic problems in their work with adults.The living conditions for the teachers beginning their professional activity in Opole Region were very hard, which was the reason for a high fluctuation of the personnel. In the pioneer period of the years 1945‒1950, the teachers exerted a strong impacton the stabilization of the social life, formation of territorial bonds and the sense of commonwealth of the inhabitants of Opole Region and the rest of the country.
