Abstract:
The development of education (essentially primary schooling) has been
considered since the beginning of the nineteenth century as a major
process and notably characteristic of developed capitalist societies.
This being so, in spite of abundant literature devoted to this
extremely delicate subject for more than 50 years, there has still
been no in-depth, quantitative research on the origin of the
phenomenon and above all on the historical process that led to it.
French research since the end of World War II in particular, with
fresh work in the field of research on education, has generally
merely noted this development, considering the interpretation to be
obvious. We have a different conception, considering that the
increase in school attendance in France requires a fresh conceptual
approach and new empirical and theoretical validation work. For this,
our cliometric study of primary education by administrative
department in France in the nineteenth century is based on
retrospective national accountancy methods (development of the
population, the structure of personnel and schools, expenditure and
funding).
