EDUCATIONAL POLICY OF POLISH CIVIL ADMINISTRATION ON EASTERN TERRITORY (FEBRUARY 1919 - SEPTEMBER 1920)
The article is devoted to the study of the Polish authorities on the occupied Belarusian territory. Announced opportunity of language choice demonstrated the desire of federalisation. Until the end of October 1919 Poland hasn't financed school education, that worsened education depatment. It gave an opporunity to school supervisors to follow their political ideas. There was a struggle between officials who supported the federalisation idea and followers of incorporation of Belarusian territory into Poland. Fast school increase took place in Vilnya and Brest regions. Polish social organisations financed schools, there was teacher training for Belarusian land in Polish seminaries. Belarusian education got opportunity to development only in Minsk region.
