Summary:

This book by Ágoston Berecz examines the educational policies of the Dualist Hungarian state from the 1870s to World War I, focusing on the promotion of the Hungarian language among non-Magyar populations through primary education. It analyzes the phases, methods, and outcomes of these policies in regions like Transylvania, where languages such as Romanian and German were predominant. The study highlights the challenges faced in implementing Hungarian as a language of instruction and explores the varying degrees of linguistic assimilation. The book is intended for scholars of Central European history, language policy, and educational reform. Generated by AI.
