Austria's aim to provide equitable education to its citizens is an ongoing process. In 1747 a
decree opened schools to all children. From 1891 to 1941 schooling was compulsory for
children between 6 and 14. In 1955 the Austrian Constitution guaranteed Austrian minority
groups equal access to education. In 1966 and 1976 legislation further guaranteed minority
groups' right to be taught in their home language subject to certain provisos. Currently
minority groups are supposed to be taught in their horne language for the frrst three years of
school and school is compulsory for nine years. This study wished to establish whether
minority groups are, in fact, provided with education as provided for by law, and examined
the situation in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Canada as well. If
Austria is successful, Zimbabwe or South Africa could adapt her policies in their educational
situation. / Educational Leadership and Management / M Ed. (Educational Management)
