Italian Fascists' Control over Education

1922, Italian fascist leader Mussolini seized power and established a fascist dictatorship. Italian education has also been brought into the track of fascism, which is not much different from the educational measures implemented by Nazi Germany in essence. One of the measures is to strictly control the teachers and students in the school.

1929 fascism stipulated that all middle school teachers must swear allegiance to the fascist regime, and193/kloc-0 university professors were also required to swear. The oath sworn by the university professor is: "I swear allegiance to the king, to the royal heirs, to the fascist regime, and absolutely obey the law." When I teach in a university or hold other academic positions, I will try my best to train hardworking and upright young students to devote themselves to the country and the royal family. I will never belong to or join any party or organization that has nothing to do with my position. " 1933 requires that all newly appointed school teachers must be party member of the fascist party. 1934 also stipulates that school teachers should wear uniforms on all formal occasions. Not only are teachers' personal thoughts and actions restricted, but teachers' organizations are also tightly controlled by the fascist regime. Teachers' organizations must absolutely obey the supervision of the fascist party and the state, or they will be ordered to dissolve.

The fascist regime not only strengthened its control over teachers, but also strengthened its fascist education for young people. Mussolini's portrait should be hung in every classroom in the school to teach students to imitate Mussolini in words and actions. In the early 1930s, the country began to publish its own textbooks. In textbooks, Mussolini's plan and thought of "rebuilding" Italy have been carried out. Mussolini is known as the omniscient ruler of the country and the "symbol of unity" of the Italian people.

The fascist regime infiltrated fascist ideas into young people through the establishment of fascist youth organizations, and children from 6 to 2 1 have their own organizations. These organizations emphasize physical exercise and military training. Their motto is "believe, obey and fight", and they also sing so-called patriotic songs to inspire the spirit of martial arts. There is such a passage in the song:

We are like countless seeds, and we are like brave flames.

The stream sings for us,

May is sunny and sings for us.

But once the war comes,

The Alps and the sea are at war,

We will be the bullets of "sacred freedom".

Mussolini himself also inspired the martial spirit of young people. At a rally in 1930, he said: "Please remember that fascism has not promised you honor, employment opportunities or rewards. It only promises obligations and fights. "

These young fascist organizations are also particularly committed to cultivating young people's loyalty to the leader Mussolini. The oath of an organization is: "In the name of God and Italy, I swear: obey the leader's orders, use all my strength, and use my life to serve the fascist revolutionary cause when necessary." There is a passage in the primary school textbook: "I firmly believe that Mussolini's genius, his father's fascism and the heroic spirit of fascist martyrs are with me." Believe in the revival of the empire. "
