"The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School" by Francisco Ferrer Guardia is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the foundational principles and motivations behind Ferrer's vision for a new educational paradigm, advocating for a rational, secular learning environment that promotes social equality and critical thinking. It addresses the socio-political context of Ferrer's time, focusing on his experiences in the Spanish revolutionary movement and the corrupt educational practices he sought to reform. At the start of the text, Ferrer recounts the injustices he faced, including a wrongful execution that stemmed from his efforts to open the eyes of the Spanish people to the need for educational reform. He outlines his disillusionment with political revolutionaries and the realization that genuine change can only come through education. The opening chapters introduce his ideals, the inception of the Modern School, and the necessary conditions for co-education. The narrative sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion on the school's philosophy, pedagogy, and the role of education in fostering a just society, emphasizing that the children educated there would grow up free from dogma and equipped to challenge societal injustices.
