Die Ansichten Maurers über das System der Grundschulausbildung : von der Planung zur Ausfíihrwig

Abstract

George Ludwig von Maurer, one of Othon’s vice-roys, was an eminent
lawyer and a sagacious observer of social events. He was the inspirator of the
institution in the newly-born Greek State. He adopted and enforced the 1834
law about primary education. In this project, a comparison between Maurer’s
points-visions and those which occured after all, takes place. The conclusion is:
Maurer was rather innovative as far as the educational conditions of that
period (both in Greece and Europe) are concerned, although he had been
brought up in a conservative environment. He suggested an education, which
paid no attention to social classes, free of charge and one which did not
differentiate according to sex.
