Educational systems

1. Educational systems include formal institutions and organizations of a country that transmit knowledge and cultural heritage and that influence the social and intellectual growth of the individual.

2. Most countries have a centralized governmental agency that organizes, administers, finances and controls the formal and cultural aspects of education. The laws, curricular, personnel and methods of instruction generally are determined in the central office. Examples of countries with centralized systems are France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Greece, Argentina and Brazil.

3. Decentralized educational systems are bound in such countries as Switzerland, the United States, Germany, India, Canada and Australia. This system is characterized by limited participation of central authorities in policy making. Countries such as Canada, Germany and Australia have appointed state ministries of education and state systems of inspection. In the United States individual states are responsible for providing education. States may tend toward either centralization or decentralization.

4. A third type of system is a hybrid: administration and control are shared by national and local authorities. Such is the case in England where education laws originate in Parliament but actual administration is in the hands of local government.

5. The system of higher education had its origin in Europe of the middle ages when the first universities were established. The earliest western institution that can be called a university was a famous medical school that arose at Palermo, Italy, in the 9^th century and drew students from all over Europe.

The first true university was founded at Bologna late in the 11^th century. The early universities were corporations of students and masters and they received their charters from Popes, emperors and kings. Students studied under one of the professional faculties of medicine, law and theology.

6. In the later 18^th and 19^th centuries religion was gradually displaced as the dominant force. European universities became institutions of modern learning and research.

7. Two factors increasingly have challenged the educational systems during the 20^th century: industrialization and population growth which required more extensive formal educational preparations than in the past.

The Open University is a unique innovation of higher education. It is intended for people who study in their own free time and provides courses of study through television, radio and local study programs.
