New Types of Schools in Germany and Their Curricula in Mathematics

Abstract

In many European countries, public instruction has either been changed or else completely transformed since the war. In some cases, as in France, this change has taken the form of a reversion to the humanities, the classic side. In others, as in Austria, the shift has been toward the modern scientific one. What is happening in Russia is beyond our knowledge. But even in the recently created border countries, people are ardently at work devising new types of schools. On every side, one hears of the reorganization of the curriculum.
