Friderico-Francisceum-Gymnasium
The Friderico-Francisceum (FFG) is a gymnasium in Bad Doberan, Germany. History In 1879, Frederick Francis II, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin decided to establish a gymnasium in Doberan, a city of 4000 inhabitants which had been granted town rights in the same year. The school was officially opened by its first principal Wilhelm Kraner on April 21, 1879. It was located at ''Dammstraße'', today’s ''Beethovenstraße''. Students at the age of 10 to 14 attended the school in the first year. They were educated by four teachers. Initially a ''Progymnasium'' with only lower grades, the school was granted expansion to a full gymnasium by the grand duke in 1883. After Frederick Francis II died in 1883, his successor Frederick Francis III named the school ''Friderico-Francisceum'' in honour of the founder. In 1889, the gymnasium moved into its present-day building at ''Alexandrinenplatz''. The schoolhouse had been constructed by Doberan-based architect Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel. ...

Education In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits. These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination. Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people. Education originated as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Today, educational goals increasingly encompass new ideas such as the liberation of learners, skills needed for modern society, empathy, and complex vocational skills. Types of education are commonly divided into formal, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
