Description

In 1918, the Montessori school of Canet was created, a municipal project that operated until 1939. The municipal council, with the help of its promoter, councilor Josep Fors Vidal, joined the pedagogical renewal promoted by the education policy of the Commonwealth. The inauguration was presided over by the creator of the pedagogical system herself, the Italian pedagogue Maria Montessori. The leaflet contains an explanation of the main lines of the system.
In fact, in 1932 the experience of this school was presented by the eminent pedagogue Alexandre Galí at a European Congress of pedagogy held in Switzerland. Galí only mentions 8 model schools that he knew of that applied the Montessori method in an orthodox way, and Canet’s is among them.
The local administration is promoting the creation of a modern and active teaching system, joining the currents of pedagogical renewal in Europe
