EVOLUȚIA ȘCOLILOR CU PREDARE ÎN LIMBA MINORITĂȚILOR DUPĂ 1989 ÎN JUDEȚUL TIMIȘ
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MINORITIES SCHOOLS SINCE 1989 IN TIMIS COUNTRY

Summary/Abstract: In Banat there is a long tradition of education in different mother tongues. In 1990 the high schools with teaching in Hungarian and Serbian were reestablished as independent institutions, joining the German High School. There were classes in many towns and schools with teaching in minority languages in which they studied their language and culture. In addition to the three minorities referred to above, it is also taught Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Slovak and Romani. However, initial enthusiasm has not been confirmed. In the 2000s classes with teaching in Hungarian and Serbian shrank steadily. But the Ukrainian High School was set up and the groups studying Romani have multiplied. This trend seems to continue in the near future. The activity of these schools is oriented towards preserving culture and tradition of cultural-linguistic community, schools becoming the main means of promoting their cultural values. The acquisition and perpetuation of habits of all ethnic groups by young people who do not belong to the group in question can also be observed. It is a continuation of the multicultural tradition and mutual respect which are characteristic for this area.
