Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to illustrate the political and cultural background of education policy in the post-1945 time period. First, different theories about and evaluations of these distinctive few years are looked at as seen and assessed by various historians and politicians. The paper explores the educational policies of the distinct political regimes via a process of going backwards in time, i.e. commencing in 2010 and ending in 1945. When summarizing the characteristics of such temporary policy-making in the examined time period, the study focuses on the role of a specific multi-party system and that of non-party organizations. Cultural life was relatively free and diverse in the period of restricted democracy. Introducing the culture of a then-existing institutional system can enable us to get a better understanding of contemporary education policy.
