THE END OF KEN
1. the Catholic Church lost its exclusive centuries-old right to direct the
education of the youth.
2. the government acquired the responsibility for the organization of education
and its control.
3. the massive wealth of the Jesuits came under government control with a
mandate that it would only be used to support education.
4. the scholastic teaching methodology prevalent in this period was challenged,
the Commission began to educate lay teachers.
During this same time frame, similar commissions were established in France,
Austria, and Prussia. However, these commissions were not able to effectively
direct national education since they received little monetary support from their
governments.
