The purpose of the research is to analyze the education system transformation in Bukovyna during 1918 – 1923, when the region belonged to the Kingdom of Romania. The methodology of the research is based on general scientific principles (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction), as well as the application of special historical methods (credible historical, etc.). The scientific novelty of the study is to analyze the changes in the educational system in Bukovyna during the first postwar years (1918 – 1923). It was an extremely crucial period when the Romanian authorities, by joining these territories with their state, tried to transform the educational system of Bukovyna in their own way. The Conclusions. Taking everything into consideration, we should state that the system of educational institutions in Bukovyna during the first years after the Great War of 1914 – 1918 underwent significant changes. On the one hand, the Romanian authorities tried to adapt these institutions to their own, which existed in the Kingdom of Romania before World War I with the help of educational measures. On the other hand, such actions should gain loyalty and integrate the various national communities of the region as soon as possible. However, with these actions, the new government administration only caused a negative attitude of these ethnic communities to such steps and to the Romanian government in general. Although these measures taken by the Romanian government representatives should be assessed not only from the point of view of the internal political life of the Kingdom of Romania, but also considered in the broader Central and Eastern European context of that time.
Key words: World War I, the Kingdom of Romania, Bukovyna, the system of education.
