I spent almost 10 years working on this #histed book, which tries to understand why Swiss companies became so deeply involved in education and training in the 20th century. In short, it wasn't just the need for human capital. Available open access: www.chronos-verlag.ch/node/28573

Sen får man heller inte glömma att sv massundervisning alltid huvudsakligen varit organiserad av lokala myndigheter. Tanken att offentliga medel ska kunna användas för vinstdrivande skolor är mkt ny.

Viktigt: det är kul att kalla den svenska grundskolan för DDR-skola, men man måste komma ihåg att DDRs 10-åriga polytechnische Oberschule var del av ett helt annat tysk-sovjetiskt utbildningsuniversum, med avslutande Abitur, o enbart omkr 14% fortsatte till 9e klass.

Ha ha, my only recommendation is to visit Groningen! (and that both Utrecht and the Hague is cosier and less busier cities in the randstad)

Alla i min småbrukarsläkt säger alltid "det viktiga är att man försöker göra sitt bästa", och det har alltid varit en tröst för mig. Försöker jag bara mitt bästa, så har jag alltid ryggen fri. Jag har ju gjort det bästa jag kan.

It's such a great idea - I would love to do something similar on schooling in Europe.

Jobbigt! Men världen vore en bättre plats om det gräts mer vid seminarier. Finns ju många goda skäl att gråta på ett seminarium, bortsett från att folk är idioter, och om fler gjorde det, vore det nog för det bättre. Så du gör iaf en insats där också!

Wow! Also interesting to see who drives this, where Springer, Wiley and T&F see much slower growth

Fick ett fantastiskt mail idag, från en person som lyssnat på Vetenskapsradion Historia när jag var med och pratade om lärarinnor på landsbygden förr. Hennes mamma hade varit ung lärarinna i Hälsingland (”laglöst land på den tiden”) på 20-talet och var beväpnad. >
