«Sprovincializzare la cultura pedagogica, rinnovare la scuola italiana». Il ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, lo studio comparato dei sistemi scolastici stranieri e le missioni conoscitive all’estero dall’Unità alla fine del XIX secolo

The «Bollettino Ufficiale del Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione» has been founded in Italy, after the national unification. It was a newspaper by the Ministry of Public Education to represent the administration movement of the Italian education. The magazine, which was divided into different sections, also published information about comparative studies of the foreign school systems, especially the German and the French ones, and about research missions abroad. The issue was quite large and complex, and it did not concern only the pedagogical and theoretic field, but also the school furniture and architecture.
