The Prussian School

The Prussian School refers to an educational approach developed in 19th-century Prussia that emphasized structured, discipline-focused learning, uniform curricula, and rigorous teacher training. It aimed to create a disciplined citizenry and efficient workforce, often through centralized control and standardized testing. This model influenced modern public education systems worldwide by promoting consistency, order, and authority in schools, prioritizing obedience and academic achievement to prepare students for civic duties and professional roles.
