Publikation The History of School Acts(Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) Westberg, Johannes; Boser Hofmann, Lukas; Brühwiler, Ingrid; Westberg, Johannes; Boser Hofmann, Lukas; Brühwiler, Ingrid04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation School acts and the rise of mass schooling. Education policy in the long nineteenth century(Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) Westberg, Johannes; Boser Hofmann, Lukas; Brühwiler, IngridThis book examines school acts in the long nineteenth century, traditionally considered as milestones or landmarks in the process of achieving universal education. Guided by a strong interest in social, cultural, and economic history, the case studies featured in the book rethink the actual value, the impact, and the ostensible purpose of school acts. The thirteen national case studies focus on the manner in which school acts were embedded in their particular historical contexts, offering a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of school acts and the role they played in the rise of mass schooling. Drawing together research from countries across the West, the editors and contributors analyse why these acts were passed, as well as their content and impact. This seminal collection will appeal to students and scholars of school acts and the history of mass schooling.03 - SammelbandPublikation E Pluribus Unum. One Swiss School System based on many Cantonal School Acts(Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) Boser Hofmann, Lukas; Hofmann, Michèle; Brühwiler, Ingrid; Westberg, Johannes; Boser Hofmann, Lukas; Brühwiler, IngridIn this chapter, the authors raise the question of what makes the Swiss case worth presenting to an international audience. They argue that Switzerland is an interesting case because Swiss formal education lacks much of the structural systematization a system of mass schooling is expected to have. A close examination of the formal schooling in Switzerland reveals that every canton is given the autonomy to organize primary and most of secondary education. School structures and school legislation are mainly cantonal affairs, not guided by centralized agency or national body of law. However, given that similarities undoubtedly exist between those cantonal school systems, it is important to examine how those similarities came into being, as it is likely that the cantons are not as independent in their decision-making as it might appear at a first glance.04A - Beitrag Sammelband
