Falloux Law

    0.01 sec.

Falloux Law

(1850) Act granting legal status to independent secondary schools in France. It was sponsored by Count Frédéric-Alfred-Pierre de Falloux (1811–1886), minister of education in the Second Republic, and one of its main architects was a Catholic bishop, Félix-Antoine-Philibert Dupanloup (1802–1878). Under the guise of freedom of education, it restored much of the church's traditional influence.

Furthermore, the education ministry's official school curriculum strongly resembled the Catholic program even before the Falloux Law of 1850 encouraged a noticeable increase in religious teachers' presence in public schools, and the public schools' moral lessons after t he Ferry Laws of 1881-82 were largely a secular version of traditional religious lessons on behavior.
Although many Catholic schools existed by mid century, congregational schools were greatly encouraged by the Falloux Law of 1850 and their numbers increased rapidly after it.
