Streszczenie
The Education and Culture Department started its
activities on April 1, 1921 as an organizational unit of Lodz
authorities in the Second Polish Republic. The following
three independent divisions were organized within its
structure: the Division of Educational System, the Division
of Compulsory Education, and the Division of Culture and
Non-School Education.
The responsibilities of the Division of Educational System
included the satisfaction of needs of universal schools
resulting from school acts, the patronage over secondary
education, and the granting of subsidies to universities and
research institution. The Division of Compulsory Education
focused mainly on the enforcement of the resolution on
universal education, registered children at the school
age, and kept a personal register of all people to whom
compulsory education pertained. It also had administrative
and penalizing competences and was able to impose
penalties for a failure to complete compulsory education.
The Division of Culture and Non-School Education dealt
with the supporting and taking of initiatives aiming at the
development of cultural life in the city.
The purpose of this work is to present the role performed
by the Council of the city and the Department of Education
and Culture nominated by it in the propagation of children’s
education in Lodz in interwar Poland.
