- Scope and content:
- The fonds contains ministerial orders, reports, statistics, questionnaires, records of meetings, tables, payrolls, personnel files of teaching staff and correspondence registers. The documents reflect the state of primary education in Caraş County, the training and allocation of teachers, the school network, changes in the number of pupils, the number and status of school buildings, school libraries and other aspects of local cultural and social life. In 1929, 28 state, 38 communal and 67 confessional schools were registered in the county. Jewish pupils attended all of these categories of schools, and their numbers and exam results are included in statistics for 1926 and 1939 (files 2/1926 and 43/1939).
- Archival history:
- Part of the fonds was in the custody of Oraviţa high school before being transferred in 1955 to the Oraviţa branch of the State Archives, while the remainder was preserved by Caraş-Severin County Council and transferred to the Romanian National Archives, Directorate of Caraş-Severin County, in 1978.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Caraş County school inspectorate was founded in 1926 and based in Oraviţa. It was subordinated to the regional inspectorate at Timişoara, which was reorganised in 1930 and 1934. A law issued in 1939 established school inspectorates in each county, responsible for school administration, attendance and staffing. Each district had an office led by a deputy inspector, who periodically visited the schools under his jurisdiction. This system was maintained until 1949, when the new communist regime replaced it with education departments in the people’s district councils.
