Abstract
The study deals with the changes that gradually affected the Sudeten German schools after joining to the Third Reich based on the Munich Agreement in 1938. This is a topic that researchers have so far dealt with only marginally.
The study focuses on organizational changes in individual schools, access to education, school-leaving examinations, and language teaching. By examining the archival material, especially of an official nature, within the qualitative research, attention was paid to the degree of adaptation of the educational process to National Socialist pedagogy and the related gradual change of the school system, curricula, and subject matter.
The research showed in specific cases the adaptation of Sudeten German education to the school system in the Third Reich and the gradual, not violent, transition from Czech as a foreign language to English, a strong preference for English as a foreign language at the expense of other foreign languages throughout the Reichsgau Sudetenland, and the predominance of literature on war topics in the teaching of the German language, with the fact that sufficient space was devoted to regional (Sudeten German) literature.
