In search of inspiration: Children’s Gardens of W.E. Rau in Warsaw 1899–1901

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, sports and outdoor gymnastics were popularized, especially among children and youth. Numerous clubs and societies dealing with all kinds of sport were established then. In the cities, parts of gardens and squares were designated for creating playgrounds for children and establishing children’s gardens. Also in Warsaw, it was decided to create a children’s garden through the members of the Hygienic Society. In 1899, games began in the children’s garden, which was named after W.E. Rau’s gardens in honor of the donor. However, they had to be discontinued the same year because of failure to comply with formal requirements. During this time, members of the Games and Play Committee operating at the Hygienic Society were delegated abroad to look at the local solution for outdoor games and collective games.

The History of Education System and Authority in Israel from the Ottoman period to our days

During the short history of its existence, even before the state of Israel was born, the Education system in the area known today as Israel has constantly faced the challenge of providing equal, or at least somewhat state-controlled curriculum, budgeting and education in general. During the major periods of government change, various religious, socioeconomic and political groups had tried to reshape the education system to match their needs, creating schools, programs and funding plans accordingly. However, despite the evolving legislation and awareness, the Israeli Education System is heavily segregated based on religion, origins, and other factors. Whole populations are exempted by choice, or by lack of lobbying, while the main system remains to bring equity to a highly heterogenic school system. This article will show the challenges, stratification changes and shifts the system has faced on the way to provide quality education to the children of Israeli state.
