History Of Education

Last Updated Oct 5, 2008 04:10 PM

To answer the question about educations birth Dieter Lezen (1994) had two suggestions: either millions of years ago or in the end of 1770. If we think education as part of cultural evolution of humanbeing we have to predict that there has been always some sort of education. The first chair of pedagogy was founded in the end of 1770s to the University of Halle, Germany. This Lenzens quote includes the idea that education as science can´t be separated from the educational traditions that existed before.

Much education historically has had a religion-based delivery mechanism: priests and medicine men have long realised the importance of promoting and cementing the ruling ideology amongst the young. Thus they have conventionally borne the economic costs of founding, maintaining and staffing school systems.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau fuelled an influential early-Romanticism reaction to formalised religion-based education at a time when the concept of childhood had started to develop as a distinct aspect of human development.

The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's Commission of National Education (Polish: Komisja Edukacji Narodowej) formed in 1773 counts as the first Ministry of Education in the history of mankind.

Conventional social history narrates how by about the beginning of the 19th century the industrial revolution promoted a demand for masses of disciplined, inter-changeable workers who possessed at least minimal literacy. In these circumstances the new socially predominant structure, the state, began to mandate and dictate attendance at standardised schools with a state-ordained curriculum. Out of such systems the general and vocational education paths of the 20th century emerged, with increasing economic specialisation demanding increasingly specialised skills from a population which spent correspondingly longer periods in formal education before entering or while engaged in the workforce.
