Abstract

[By July 1794, the Terror had subsided. The destruction of the educational establishments of the Old Regime—academies, special schools, collèges, libraries, private laboratories, and even primary schools (petites écoles)—was nearly complete. Plans for regeneration had been submitted to successive committees for public instruction since 1791 at the rate of one per week. The Bouquierplan of December 1793 allowed primary schools to be opened by almost anyone, including clerics, as long as the Republic granted approval. The idea of a college for teacher training dated back to the prerevolutionary period, but the first proposal for such an institution was delivered to the Thermidorean Convention after the Terror, on October 24, 1794. The proposal’s author was Joseph Dominique Garat, a former Minister of the Interior who was linked to the moderate Girondin republicans and inspired by Condorcet.]
