The French Canadians and the Schools of the Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning, 1820-1829
|
| Abstract |
The Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning was established by the colonial government in the early nineteenth century to introduce public education into Lower Canada. An original intent of the Royal Institution was to "anglicize" French Canadians. The author argues that a large number of Royal Institution schools, especially after 1818, could have come under the control of French Canadians.
