In what society did universal education begin?
Although the capitalist society abolished the hierarchical system of feudal education, they still could not receive equal education because of the different status of each class. With the development of productive forces, the combination of technology and production is getting closer and closer, which requires workers to be more educated. Coupled with the development of the democratization movement after World War II, capitalism put forward "universal compulsory education", and the number of years has been continuously extended. However, capitalist schools have always permeated the class spirit of the bourgeoisie in essence, that is, to train satisfied workers for the bourgeoisie, which can not only create profits for the owners. In recent years, due to the development and popularization of education, the bourgeoisie has boasted about the democratization of its education and the "equal opportunity" of education, which is actually only a superficial phenomenon. Due to the high tuition fees of high-quality private schools, the children of most working people still only receive a relatively low level of education, and the inequality of education is also manifested in the fact that ethnic minorities do not have equal rights to education. In the United States, black and Indian schools are poorly equipped and teachers are of low quality.
