children how to read– Parliament voted to spend money to build public
schools for poor children– Required children to attend between ages 5-10– Later it was 5-14, and then part time until 18
• Germany– First to provide primary education that was
required for all children– Developed one of the finest systems of education
in Europe
• France– Jules Ferry formed the school system that required
all children to attend school until the age of 15– This system has continued with little change
