The new independent state of Czechoslovakia was formed in 1918 by the separation from the former Austria-Hungary empire. The Czechoslovakia took over the typology of schools from its predecessor.
A common/municipal school was a type of school for the primary education of children, introduced in 1869. The common school was an institutionally separate first stage of the national school, its second stage was the burgher school.
The common school was an eight- or five-year school; the burgher school was only a three-year school. Children could fulfill the obligation of school attendance in three ways: By graduating from an eight-year municipal school, by completing a five-year municipal school, followed by a three-year study at a burgher or secondary school.
