The article discusses educational reconstruction in Europe after World War II. Concerning the occupied countries, the first thing is to ascertain to what degree the Nazi invasion has influenced the social environment in which a child is to be educated, and especially, the two most important groups, the family and the school. In Europe, particularly in the southeast great shillings of population were brought about by the Nazi policy. First the masses of war prisoners, and second, the slave workers recruited from all over Europe, were brought to Germany. Adult education is certainly undervalued in all plans for educational reconstruction. Until now, the adult education in all of Europe played a significant role, but it was never recognized as equally important, for example, to the secondary schools. However, for the workers its importance was equally as great. Adult education should come into its rightful place after the war with adequate financial support. Until now, it has been supported chiefly by membership contributions and small grants, unlike the schools which were financed by the state or municipalities.
