Abstract Details

2010, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Ohio University, Political Science.
Though education has long been recognized as an important factor in economic development, there is little work about the factors that influence the development of public schools. This paper examines the histories of Japan and Brazil, two countries with very different education systems. While Japan created public education relatively early, Brazil has continually struggled to develop a strong system. Brief accounts of education in Massachusetts and Britain are also provided. From this research, the factor that has the greatest influence on the development of public education is the strength of the state, though there are secondary factors as well. It is hoped that this work will spark further research on the subject.
