Which was the First Country to Make Education Compulsory

The Kingdom of Prussia applied compulsory education system in early 19th century. This Prussian education system have served as models for the education systems in a number of other countries including the United States and New York opened twelve schools providing free compulsive education for students in their local region. Actually Kingdom of Prussia is a part of many countries(Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Germany, Denmark, Belgium). Initially it was a German kingdom from 1701 to 1918.

During the 18th century, the Kingdom of Prussia was among the first countries in the world to introduce tax-funded and generally compulsory primary education, comprising an eight-year course of primary education, called Volksschule. Today, Volksschule is the Austrian equivalent to the German word Grundschule and the Swiss German word Primarschule, for example "primary school".
        The Prussian system instituted compulsory attendance, specific training for teachers, national testing for all students.  It provided not only the skills needed in an early industrialized world but also a strict education in ethics, duty, discipline and obedience. This educational system instructed students on basic educational concepts, such as mathematics, writing, and reading. At the same time, it also taught things like obedience, duty to country, and general ethics.
        By the mid-19th century a number of seminal American educators had traveled to Germany to see how the system was actually working, and they returned to the United States as zealous converts, advocating intensely for the United States to adopt the system.

The story of a blind girl

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying:
“Just take care of my eyes dear.”

This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.
