The fact that education systems are in permanent change shows no instability, on the contrary they serve to adopt to the society changes. As it has happened even at the system of the developed western countries the frequent changes made to the XX century time span have indicated that the school has tried to fit as much as possible to the social changes in Austria, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Russia and to the other global countries. These changes by not being studied and also made in a not very favorable environment of education system in Western Europe, influenced regarding to the content and differentiation. Schools in this period of study became political issues of a special importance - at on hand, the community became a reliable factor in the formation of school’s system - on the other hand it influenced above all in the increase of the demands for elementary education. By taking into consideration the Western development of education, we cannot stay without bringing up their influence not only in the education system model of our country but to the infrastructure too and schools environment in the XX century time span.
