- Archival history:
- The School Inspectorate Registry was moved in 1938 first to Čajkov, later to Pukanec, and finally to Banská Štiavnica where a new school inspectorate was established. After the restoration of the School Inspectorate in Levice in 1945, the registry was returned to the creator in Levice. In 1954, the fonds was taken over by the predecessor of the institution where it is still stored. Later, the fonds obtained new acquisitions from other archives. In 1963, it was the documents from 1932-1935 from the District Archives in Žiar nad Hronom. Later, the fonds gained the documents of schools and teachers coming from the activities of the School Inspectorate in Banská Štiavnica from 1939-1944. At present, it is classified as arranged.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The predecessor of the creator, for the part of Levice District which was part of Tekov County, was the County School Inspectorate in Zlaté Moravce. The second part, which was part of the Hont County, was subject to the County School Inspectorate in Šahy. The Inspectorate had authority over 6 kindergartens, 91 elementary schools and the Roman Catholic Girls' School in Levice. The Inspectorate dealt with all issues of kindergartens, elementary schools, secondary schools, and educational institutions, including the establishment and cancellation of successive classes, some issues of school construction, budgetary matters, proposals for appointing teachers and regulation of their salaries. The School Inspectorate in Levice ceased to exist in 1938 after the annexation of southern Slovakia by Hungary as a result of the 1st Vienna Arbitration. In 1945, the Inspectorate was restored and worked until 1949, when its authority was transferred to the Department of Education of the District National Committee in Levice.
