History

The Laegue of Education is one of the most important cultural organisations and one of the oldest companies of republican France. It was created by a journalist and teacher of girls Mr. Jean Mace (engraving). Following the coup of Mr. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, he believes that before instituting universal suffrage, it would have taken thirty years of compulsory education.. on 15 November 1866. He officially announced the birth of the French league education
A petition for a public education free, compulsory and secular is launched with the help of the liberal press. The National Movement cons of his ignorance "launched in September 1871 to collect in fifteen months of 1,300,000 signatures submitted to the National Assembly. In November 1872 a new campaign is launched with local officials on the issue of secularism, understood as "neutrality of public schools. Faced with the government calling for "moral order", the League is close to the army through the regimental libraries. Its motto shall be 'For the country, by the book and the sword. "
A major conference was held in 1881 to give the league its federal form. The arrival of Jules Ferry in the Ministry of Education and Fine Arts is a big change. Under the influence of other Leaguers, Ferdinand Buisson, Paul Bert, René Goblet, Parliament passes laws school: free primary education June 16, 1881, obligation and secularism March 28, 1882. In 1886, over one third of deputies and senators are members of the League.
After the First World War in 1925, a "Constituent Assembly of the League regenerated, modifies its structure by decentralizing. She recognized public utility by decree of May 31, 1930. In order to make art, technology, sports disciplines in the service of all, it creates sections, the "UFO". The first, in 1928, the UFOLEP (French Union of secular works of Physical Education) and its subsidiary, the USEPA (Athletic Union of Primary Education), founded in 1939, allowing hundreds of thousands of children sport.
The League was disbanded in April 1942. At its Congress in 1945 to overhaul the General de Gaulle is present and says: "Honor to the League of Education." It is the heart of the gathering of secular organizations that will fight relentlessly for the School of the Republic . But it spreads well beyond school and extracurricular activities, like, staying rooted in the countryside, it invests in urban neighborhoods. Following the failure of the "great unified public service and secular Education, the League deepened the concept of secularism by seeking the humanities and confronting with believers. In 1987 Condorcet Circles are created to fuel the debate of ideas. In 1999 League holds the first education fair which is held every year since late November.
