Abstract
The article is an account of the schools which serve the Danish minority in Schleswig‐Holstein and the German minority in Southern Jutland. It begins with a brief historical explanation of the existence of the minorities and then addresses itself to the development of their schools since the present border was drawn in 1920. The contemporary situation is described with particular reference to the paradox of the declared intentions of the schools. They have the purpose of fostering allegiance to the country of cultural allegiance and of preparing their pupils for life in the country in which they live, divergent aims which are particularly problematic with respect to language allegiance and the schools’ language policies.
