By examining the widespread enthusiasm for education during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945), this article sets out to contribute to historiography on so-called 'education fever' (kyoyungyol), which so far has largely concentrated on researching the period after 1945.

'School league tables' summarising the performance of secondary schools in England have been published annually since 1992.

These include 'teaching to the test', entering pupils for…

Visual images played an increasing role in professional discourse and in popular and political debate about progressive education over a century or more.

Justice, Benjamin – History of Education, 2014

They could, in fact, be equally powerful in building or breaking the civic spirit. In the past three decades, a revolution has occurred in the United States that is as insidious as it is unprecedented: the rise of the American…
