Essai d'éducation nationale, ou, plan d'études pour la jeunesse by La Chalotais
"Essai d'éducation nationale, ou, plan d'études pour la jeunesse" by La Chalotais is a treatise on educational reform written in the mid-18th century. The work presents a comprehensive plan aimed at improving the education of youth in France, emphasizing the need for a curriculum that prepares citizens for practical professions and responsible citizenship rather than merely academic pursuits. The text critiques the existing educational systems and suggests a shift towards a more
civil, useful form of education that involves the study of relevant subjects like history, geography, and natural sciences. The opening of the treatise outlines the urgent need for reform in the education system, revealing the author's concerns regarding the ineffectiveness of contemporary colleges. La Chalotais emphasizes the significance of a well-rounded education that includes practical knowledge and moral instruction, lamenting the dominance of outdated methodologies that stifle the intellectual growth of students. He argues that a proper education should be established upon clear principles, operate through sensory experiences, and be relevant to the lives of future citizens—encouraging them to understand their roles in society and the importance of civic responsibilities. The author sets the groundwork for a detailed educational plan that he contends is essential for the overall welfare of the nation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
