I think the history of eductation needs expansion and probably its own page. It oughta include such events as the creation of Plato's Academy and such methods as apprenticeship. I would like to see a good bit about the development of current education methods and practices, such as giving degrees and tests, from the simple unorganized teaching of children by family, including reasons why each change was made and . There already is a category section on history of education, but it could use the summary and direction of an article. I don't have the information to do such a thing though.
I already made a request for this - and put it on the "Expand page" of the Community portal.

This fellow seems to be putting himself about wikipedia a bit. He appears in the list of prominent educationalists, but I'm fairly sure he doesn't belong in the same list as Aristotle! ( See Discussion. - Jamorama 14:58, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I added a list of possible topics and related categories that can be used to help expand this article. Rfrisbie talk 05:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to suggest a link be placed in the Formal education section in this article, to Compulsory education (which itself needs drastic expansion).
I was originally looking for a world-map or chart comparing mandatory education ages/levels internationally (does anyone know if that exists here yet? it would make a useful graphic). -- Quiddity 00:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
The picture at the top of the article is described as being of a German school in the 1930s. Given the desk and chair design at the right of the picture, this is fairly clearly not the case. This needs to be checked with the photo's originator. WMMartin 14:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
No-one else appears to be interested in this picture, so I've adjusted the caption. Whilst the picture may include some 1930s artifacts, unless the Germans had access to time machines it is unlikely that they had plastic and tubular-steel chairs in their schools.

This article is too long and right from the introduction it seems clear to me that the article should be split somehow, thus the addition of the split message box at the top. Education is an important field, how could we get well-rounded articles? First of all, there could be a disambiguation page to the different meanings of the word:
* Education (science) * Education (consciously acquired knowledge) * Education system
You can come up with better classification and naming. Further, each of these topics could be started with an introduction, described by main points, and extended on additional articles, as instructed at Wikipedia:Summary style. For example, the articles on the science and the system could delegate discussing teaching and teachers to the separate article. I did some minor cleanup but I'm mostly infamiliar with the field. -- TuukkaH 12:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
