Illustration of an infant class

The history of infant schools in Great Britain began in 1816, when the first infant school was founded in New Lanark, Scotland. It was followed by other philanthropic infant schools across Great Britain. Infant teaching came to include moral education, exercise, and an authoritative but friendly teacher. Infant schools increased the education that many children received before leaving school to work. State-funded schools in England and Wales were advised in 1840 to include infant departments. Infant education came under pressure to achieve quick academic progress, notably through rote learning. Beginning in 1905, infant lessons in England and Wales shifted towards more child-centred methods of teaching, where education was meant to reflect the preferences of children. The child-centred approach reached its peak following a report in 1967. In 1988, a more centralised curriculum was introduced. The term "infant department" was used widely in Scotland in the 1960s but is no longer much used there. (Full article...)

Picture of the day

SpaceX CRS-20 was a Commercial Resupply Services mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched on March 7, 2020. Contracted by NASA and flown by SpaceX, the mission was the final flight of Dragon 1, before the introduction of Dragon 2. CRS-20 was launched aboard Falcon 9 from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and used Dragon capsule C112, which had previously flown to the ISS on CRS-10 and CRS-16. CRS-20 arrived at the ISS on March 9, 2020, and was captured by the station's robotic arm. It carried 1977 kilograms (4358 lbs) of cargo. This photograph shows the CRS-20 capsule approaching the ISS while around 267 miles (430 kilometres) above Namibia.Photograph credit: Johnson Space Center; edited by Nythar
