Synopsis

This book details a period of profound transformation in French education, beginning with the French Revolution, when the question of universal public education was first raised. The author reviews the complex discussions that led to the establishment of a comprehensive, government-funded education system, beginning with primary education and eventually expanding to include secondary and higher education. The author also examines the challenges posed by the lack of popular support for educational reform. Despite these difficulties, the author argues that the educational reforms of the French Revolution were a watershed moment in the history of education. By establishing the principle of universal public education, the French Revolution laid the groundwork for the development of a more just and equitable society.
