Abstract

This study focuses on the perspective of the Czechoslovak periodical Věstník katolického učitelstva československého (The Bulletin of Czechoslovak Catholic Teachers) on the new reform of the school system introduced during at the end of the 1920s by Václav Příhoda, who was the leading figure of such changes. Authors connected to this periodical took a quite strong stance on this issue and criticized the introduced reform in many ways and on many levels. The aim of this study is to create an overview of the most relevant and frequent opinions presented by the authors during the years 1928–1935 and to try to find common threads and themes of their positions. This includes providing a historical, pedagogical and religious context of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic.
