Education in the 20th Century

All historical events impact our world today. The decisions, reforms, and events that have occurred in the history of education is no different. The education you receive today -- teacher training, rules, classrooms, organization of schools, etc. are all defined by these past events. It's important to understand some of these major events to understand their influence.
