Prussian Education System
The Prussian Education System emerged in the early 19th century in Prussia, now part of modern-day Germany. It emphasized compulsory education, structured curricula, and trained teachers, aiming to create a disciplined and educated citizenry. This system introduced age-based grade levels and standardized testing, which influenced educational practices worldwide.
The Prussian model focused on instilling civic values and social responsibility, preparing students for participation in a democratic society. Its emphasis on state control over education led to the establishment of public schools, making education accessible to all children, regardless of their social background.
