Napoleon Bonaparte once said, "The strongest oak tree of the forest is not the one which is safeguarded from the surprise and hidden from sunlight. Its the one that stands on view where it is compelled to have difficulty for its presence resistant to the winds and rains and the scorching sun"(7). Nothing comes easy, without pain or without losses, as a man that lead France toward so many success, he know that he lead her to numerous pain and loss. So to be able to move ahead things are likely to change. The French revolution empowered a major switch in the annals of modern France, and it even affected all of those other European communities. Indeed, such great occurrences like the French revolution would change a lot in the systems of France, regarding to the educational system which was highly effected, To be able to talk about the effect of the French revolution over the education in France, the status of the French education prior to the revolution must be well recognized. I really believe, The French revolution offered the education in France a great chance to start out developing and distributing.
The educational facilities before the French revolution and under the Ancien program were in a better position than every other European country. France experienced witnessed a noticable difference in the educational activities cased by the Renaissance, and that was in the center of the 16th century. Yet somehow the educational establishments were badly distributed, and would have to be reformed. Although France experienced witness a lot of religious conflicts, which concluded with the united states being taken over effectively by the Catholic domination. We can say that the federal government involvement in the things of education was not that great and the Catholic chapel acquired the huge part of taking control over the educational system. Regarding to La Chalotais, "generally, the King's government left all issues regarding education in the side of local bishop and the spiritual orders"(1971)(3). In spite of the actual fact that the educational system was directly or indirectly under the control of the Church, but we can not pass by and not mention that the state of hawaii has show concerns about the training in France in lots of ways, for example, in 1698 a decree was issued that children from the age of seven were to be obliged to attend Catholic schools up to the age of fourteen. One significant educational development was the change of the scholars language from Latin to People from france. Achieving the period exactly before the revolution, the thought of an over-all education started to develop in France.
Since that, through the French revolution (1789-1799) The talk about of the country was not steady whatsoever, most people would think that the education is the very last thing French people would think about in such crises, however the real truth was that the market leaders of the revolution had the education in their priorities. In the primary levels of the revolution there was a significant about the training, but few institutional activities. Still, "by 1789 the amount of development of the French system of education was exceptional because of its time. Enrolment in elementary institutions was relatively high and 562 extra institutions boasted 74, 747 pupil, 40, 000 of whom acquired scholarships"(4). It is true that the damaging element of the revolution has effected the training, however the only explanation was because whichever was before the revolution has to go. But it is fair to say that the revolutionaries also looked at the point out of the training from many aspects, like "the responsibilities and prerogatives of the state, the privileges of parents, the benefits of advanced schooling, the financial needs of the country, the necessity for training professors, and the suitable position of the teaching occupation in a republic"(5). The first changes made to the French community were basically related to faith. It can be said that the revaluation wanted to change any thing related to the old system, including the great position that was occupied by the chapel. In fact, as the revolutionaries were destroying the statues that presented the cathedral at Notre Dame, they were removing every affect made by the chapel in the training system. That which was really unusual and in the same time interesting, is usually that the revolutionaries wanted to change almost anything related to the old system except the idea of educating women. Actually most of the revolution market leaders thought that only men should have the right of education because they will engaged in their state affairs. And women don't need education because their role was to manage the family and the raise children. By 1794 some sort of a standard life was founded, and that was a result of the execution of Robespierre. This kind of normal life provided the government the chance to target the education reform. A decree soon used, that the number one important thing about the education was working out of teachers. And the curriculum of the colleges contains "republican morality and the general public and private virtues, as well as the techniques of educating reading, writing, arithmetic, practical geometry, French history and grammar;"(1). Yet another thing the revolutionaries wanted to be sure to change was the spoken language, as there have been many different languages and accents were wildly spoken. THE BRAND NEW Government left the part of guiding residents to one language to colleges. (6)
According to Vignery, "although the Old Program system creased to exist, ' some colleges on all levels survived the onslaughts of the Revolution'. "(5) These schools called private classes. "Bailey's historical research of the French schools shows plainly that they survived the revolution's radical levels by adapting with their changing environment and mobilizing the resources that they had inherited from the Old Regime". (4) Much larger and wealthier schools were more likely to remain wide open. in 1798 the federal government tried to take over the control on these academic institutions but no much success was established, however in 1799 the federal government managed to control private schools in some regions. And in an effort of the government to have a competitive advantage over any private college, the government possessed a condition that if somebody need to get a position with the federal government to use an proof that he had visited a Republic university. (1) As oboist of some might expect, the point out of French community education especially the main one of central classes, was weak. Variety of flows was there, for example the lack of effective teachers and bigger the lack of productive students as well. Actually, the colleges of Paris and the areas with high rate of population does very well, but also in the rest of the country things was not as good as they must be. Another serious problem was that will require of the graduate from a central institution was not really reasonable all the time, either educational or curricular. Lastly, we can say that the central universities did not reach the goals it was made to establish. And it needed somebody great to help achieving these goals.
After the revolution, and under the new system Napoleon toke over the majority of the power. And in 1804, Napoleon became the Emperor of France and acquired the ultimate control over the government. Napoleon managed to make France the most effective country of Europe and that was by making a great deal of changes in the system of the united states. Napoleon always presumed in education and got it in his priorities, and he also assumed in reliable kind of education and because of this to become a reality, education in France must disperse majorly especially about the secondary level. There was number of issues that the French people complained about, like the lack of schools in a number of areas in addition to the lack of efficiency in the coaching faculty, not forgetting having less commitment to attend among students and in a few areas the lack of religious kind of education. (1) Napoleon managed to solve many of these problems. And because of this of some alternatives Napoleon helped in re-establishing several religious elementary colleges. The spiritual telemetry schools not only gave education to children but also a lot of the education available for females. Napoleon mostly assumed that the elementary schools did not matter as much as the secondary classes. As he presumed the secondary institution is the bottom education for the future men of France, as market leaders, armed forces and the bureaucracy. The universities were under the control of their state, and children from the age of 10 to 16 are being educated in an even that would make sure they are ready to get a developed and higher-level of education. Needless to say, there was bonuses for Teachers who have a higher rate of graduated students qualifying for progression. Napoleon was worried about the educational system, as some Financial problems started to happened and the hard contest with the private academic institutions, making the enrollment in academic institutions limited. So, Napoleon decided to put the whole control over the educational system under one palm. That was the start base of the Imperial University, which was set up in 1808. Under this university or college was as this: primary education, it acquired little attention by Napoleon; Secondary education, which Napoleon provided most of his attention to it; boarding institutions; colleges.
Finally, it can be truly said that the turmoil that France had to undergo, have carved the top features of France. As not only the educational system was effected and transformed through this experience, but nearly every aspect of the daily life of any French resident. Thou France got a good educational point out prior to the revolution, however the revolution opened the entry doors for the education to build up and multiply. As following the revolution Napoleon made the changes that needed to be done because he had the positioning and the power that he gained through the French revolution. Although there is many fluctuations in the system of education, but in the finish it resolved on a solid position, of having a focused control over it. As the training in France began with classes controlled usually by the church which taught writing, reading and some spiritual lessons, And after the revolution and the Napoleonic influence, the educational system is manipulated by the federal government under a particular name. Finally, The French revolution offered the education in France a great chance to start out developing and dispersing among France's areas.
