The transnational dissemination of the infant school to the periphery of Europe: the role of primary schools, religion, travels, and handbooks in the case of nineteenth-century Sweden

ABSTRACT The infant school was a nineteenth-century innovation with British roots that quickly achieved an international reputation. This article contributes to the study of the transnational dissemination of the infant schools by examining the case of Swedish infant schools. Using theoretical concepts from the transnational history of education, this article focuses on how the model of infant schools was transferred to Sweden, and how this model was translated and transformed in this process and by local Swedish contexts. Combining printed handbooks and unprinted archival materials from infant school societies, this article emphasises the role of travels, handbooks, and the infant school society of Stockholm in this transfer process, and its inherent contradictions. This study indicates the vital role that religion played in transforming the content of the teaching taught at infant schools, and the impact of primary schools on the educational practices. As elsewhere, Swedish infant schools were sometimes transformed into a kind of preparatory primary school.

Population Growth and the Local Provision of Services: The Role of Primary Schools in Portugal

The shrinking population in many European regions has led to a debate on the relation between the local provision of services of general interest and the demographic growth of different territories. Primary schools have been a frequent focus of this debate, given the significant number of school closures in recent years, as well as their social, economic and symbolic importance for local communities. However, the relationship between primary schools and population growth at the local scale has not been clearly established and is a challenging subject given the potential circular causality between them. This paper analyses this relationship for the mainland municipalities in Portugal between 1999 and 2016, considering three variables—total fertility rates, net migration rates and the number of primary schools—in a panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) model, where all variables are simultaneously considered endogenous and exogenous. Through this approach, it was possible to conclude that, although there is a mutual influence between these variables, the impact of school closures on the growth prospect of a municipality is limited. The main goal of policy decisions regarding the provision of primary schools should, therefore, be the quality of life of local communities, and not so much their role in countering depopulation.

Health improvement, nutrition-related behaviour and the role of school meals: the usefulness of a socio-ecological perspective to inform policy design, implementation and evaluation

Schools have the potential to support children's learning of nutrition-related behaviours through their experiences with school food. The transformation of school meal programmes have featured within policies in the UK and the USA. However, such policies are at risk of not meeting their objectives as many children remain unwilling to consume healthier food. Socio-ecological health improvement frameworks emphasise the importance of assessing health needs and designing/evaluating policies by considering processes operating at policy, community, organisational and inter/intra-personal levels. This article explores the usefulness of the socio-ecological perspective as: a theoretical framework to assess health policy and needs; a methodological framework to inform the design of associated research; and an evaluative framework for policy implementations. This is achieved by demonstrating how a socio-ecological perspective was deployed during an exploratory study into the role of primary school dining halls in improving children's nutrition-related behaviour. This study revealed how policies at local and school levels reflected national objectives with respect to nutritional guidelines, but were also influenced by multiple, competing interests at other socio-ecological levels. These included pupils’ food preferences; organisational objectives such as protecting school meal uptake; and the practices of school meal staff. It is argued that higher level policy interventions may have limited effectiveness if undermined by lack of attention to lower level factors. The use of socio-ecological frameworks as theoretical, methodological and evaluative tools to support a consistent, holistic approach during the design, implementation and evaluation of health improvement policies is recommended.
