Inhalt: Ever since the founding of the U.S., the notion that education provides equal opportunity to all Americans has been a tenet of American ideology. In the 20th century education was considered a prerequisite for upward mobility by the middle classes. The lecture series will trace this idea in the history of the American education system and discuss its shaping forces. How did the functions of schools and colleges change, which (political or social) purposes should the educational process serve? How did racial inequality or the zip code (the neighborhood were a student lived) affect the performance. What are the effects of “No Child Left Behind” and the controversy over affirmative action?
