Description
The author after a systematic research in anecdotal archival material shows that the effort for the civilization of the youth and the Greek society in general that started after the Independence through the educational system was financially supported to a large extent in the initiatives of one municipal authorities and the people and was conceived within the wider educational and pedagogical interests of parents by region. The low socio-economic level of the people, as evidenced by the investigation of archival sources and the co-examination of socio-occupational structures and acted restrictively on young people’s access to education. On the contrary, in many cases it was inversely proportional to the tendency for cultural upgrading through the educational mechanisms and to the effort for the financial support of the educational things, which for some time resulted in adverse economic circumstances. The author also deals with other issues such as the establishment, operation, teaching staff, as well as the organization of the first school units after Greece’s Independence, while searching for data on the socio-educational upgrading of girls through education at a time when women had not disengaged from the mechanisms of family exploitation.
