Piotr Ilitch Tchaikovski
1840 - 1893
In a bourgeois state – whether it is a monarchy or a republic – the school serves as an instrument for the spiritual enslavement of broad masses.
Its objective in such a state is determined not by the interest of the pupils but by those of the ruling class, i.e. the bourgeoisie, and the interests of the two often differ quite substantially.
The school’s objective determines the entire organization of school activities, the entire structure of school life and the entire substance of school education.
