Document Summary
The primary nazi germany was to create an entirely new society. It is claimed by some that hitler was not especially concerned with education because it did not emphasize the german way (lacking in history, english, sociology, etc. and emphasize mathematics, history, physical education, etc. In the beginning, jews were allowed to teach non-jews. He wanted to teach from the children up every level should be given opportunities. University was not a priority (there was no financial support or grants), and there was an increased stress on hands-on, practical learning. Wandervogel: germany had a history of providing fun education. This was started with the concept of wandervogel = singing birds. : the idea was that wealthy families could send their children to this group (only for boys) to focus on trips to a place of historical significance. It incorporated being away from the family (one weekend per month) and learning independence. It was very christian-based and kaiser focused: no jews!
