The master's thesis focuses on the analysis of the treatment of school delays during the period between the two world wars in interwar Yugoslavia, using the example of three selected schools from the Škofja Loka region. Based on the research of preserved archival records related to the treatment of school delays at three schools and two local school councils or committees, as well as relevant legislation and newspaper sources from the interwar period, the thesis presents the process of dealing with school delays during this time. At the same time, it examines how legislation concerning school delays evolved during the interwar period, the perspectives of various stakeholders on school delays, and the types and frequency of individual causes and punishments for school delays at the three schools. In relation to these two aspects, the thesis includes several statistical tables presenting the number of specific causes and the number of specific punishments in a given school year. For the research of the treatment of school delays from the interwar period, class books and forms (notes) for unexcused school delays proved to be key archival documents. Both contained various data related to the school delays of individual pupils. During the period between the two world wars, both the class books and the forms underwent changes in content and format. Therefore, the thesis also includes an analysis of these changes in the class books and the forms used for recording unexcused school delays.
