Public mass modern education was a major pillar of state-led development in the post-Colonial period. I examine the impact of Egypt's transformation in 1951–1953 of traditional elementary schools (kuttabs) into modern primary schools on the Christian-Muslim educational and occupational differentials, which were in favor of Christians. The reform granted kuttabs' graduates (where Muslim students were over-represented) access to higher stages of education that were previously confined to primary schools' graduates. Exploiting the variation in exposure to the reform across cohorts and districts of birth among males in 1986, I find that the reform benefited Muslims but not Christians. What Europe is suffering from is the result of generalizing education among all levels of society… they have no chance of avoiding what happened [Europe's 1848 revolutions]. So if this is an example in front of us, our duty is simply to teach them how to read and write to a certain limit in order to encourage satisfactory work and not to spread education beyond that point.Muhammad Ali Pasha, Ottoman Viceroy of Egypt (1805–1848), in a private letter to his son, Ibrahim Pasha (in Judith Cochran 1986, p. 6)Education is like the water we drink and the air we breathe.Taha Hussein, Egyptian liberal intellectual and Egypt's Minister of Education (1950–1952)The poor go to heaven, but can't they have a share on Earth too? They are willing to give up a share in heaven in exchange for a share on Earth.Gamal Abdul-Nasser, President of Egypt (1956–1970) (Excerpt from a public speech)

AbstractThe development of modern primary education in Saudi Arabia transformed Wah­habism in subtle yet significant ways. The art of instructing six- and seven-year-old children in the finer points of Wahhābī theology and law, as occurred in the new Saudi primary schools from 1929, may appear as the authentic continuation of a tradition within a modern institutional framework. Yet in point of fact, this foregrounding of theology constituted a departure from traditional Wahhābī pedagogy, and from precolonial Muslim learning conventions more generally. In response to the encroachment of non-Wahhābī personnel and systems of knowledge into their traditional domain, this paper argues, the Najdī ʿulamāʾ reframed modern education as a theological challenge, one similar to the challenge presented by bedouin and other non-Wahhābī Muslims.

Becoming a person is a fundamentally dialogic process. That is why at least two people are always involved in it. In their intersubjective interaction, meaning is created. A multifaceted dialogue with culture reveals unity in the diversity of aspects of a human's personality. Dialogue in this sense is a specific activity aimed to state the meanings and values. The idea of “communication” was enshrined in the teachings and concepts that emerged in the early XXth century. A significant impetus for its development was philosophy of K. Jaspers. Especially popular problem of "communication" has become in the philosophical teachings of the last decades of the last century. Of these, the concept of K.-O. Apel and Y. Habermas are on the first place. Education involves the change of all subjects involved in the process of teaching. A new system of education is impossible without the transition from a subject-objective approach to a subjectsubjective approach. This approach is possible only on the basis of an appropriate educational philosophy, the main principle of which is dialogism.

O mobiliário escolar é reconhecido como um dos símbolos da educação moderna e ocupou um lugar de destaque em projetos de escolarização da infância no ocidente, principalmente a partir da segunda metade do século XIX. Dentre os diferentes artefatos idealizados para atender exigências pedagógicas e higiênicas, selecionamos a carteira escolar como o fio condutor das análises desenvolvidas neste artigo por entendermos que, além do destaque recebido em impressos em circulação, ela foi considerada nesse período como um dos elementos essenciais para a (con)formação de práticas e condutas. Nessa direção, este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar, em discursos que circularam em Exposições Universais em diferentes formatos, elementos que caracterizavam a carteira escolar adequada para o desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas. Para tanto, são analisados relatórios de Exposições Universais, catálogos de indústrias e dicionários pedagógicos, os quais auxiliaram na identificação de argumentos que defendiam a construção de carteiras escolares que atendessem a um padrão de exigências veiculadas em eventos desse porte. Nessa empreitada foi possível observar um efeito de transbordamento de exigências difundidas nas Exposições Universais no que se refere a saberes e tecnologias empregados na construção de móveis escolares, assim como a elaboração de um conjunto de estratégias que visavam à adequação de escolas primárias de acordo com os modelos referenciados como ideais para a escolarização da infância.Palavras-chave: Mobiliário escolar.

Among the different artifacts designed to meet pedagogical and hygienic requirements, we selected the school desk as the guiding thread of the analyses conducted in this article because we understand that, in addition to the prominence that it received in printed documents in circulation, it was considered in this period as one of the essential elements for the (con)formation of practices and conducts. In this sense, this work aims to identify, in discourses that circulated in Universal Exhibitions in different formats, elements that characterized the school desk fit for the development of pedagogical practices. For this purpose, reports of Universal Exhibitions, catalogs of industries and pedagogical dictionaries are analyzed, which helped in the identification of arguments that advocated the construction of school desks that met a standard of demands conveyed in such events. In this task, it was possible to observe an overflowing effect of demands disseminated in the Universal  Exhibitions with regard to knowledge and technologies employed in the construction of school furniture, as well as the elaboration of a set of strategies aimed at the adequacy of primary schools in accordance with the models referred to as ideal for the schooling of childhood.Keywords: School furniture.
