19th-century educators

Nineteenth-century educators played a pivotal role in shaping modern education. During this time, figures like Horace Mann in the United States advocated for public schooling and educational reform, emphasizing the importance of accessible education for all children. This era saw the rise of formal schooling, standardized curricula, and teacher training. Educators aimed to instill not only academic knowledge but also moral values, often promoting citizenship and social responsibility. The reforms helped transition education from elitist institutions to more universal systems, laying the groundwork for the modern education systems we know today.
