Abstract
One of the important determinants of political and social development in Slovakia after World War II was the status of German and Hungarian minority. For the part of German population which avoid the compulsory transfer to Germany and stayed in Slovakia (estimations range from 20 000 up to 24 000 persons) a decree of Slovak National Council no.6/1944 was relevant, because regulated the education of non-Slavic minorities (German and Hungarian) in their mother tongues on elementary schools. However, due to political and social situation in after-war Slovakia, the education in German and Hungarian language was not enacted. Hungarian minority gained access to the education in Hungarian language in 1948. In regard to education in German langue, in spite of political changes in years 1948 and 1968, this did not started. Only 1989 brought a change and one of the basic rights - education in mother tongue - was secured also for members of German minority.
